+NFVbench Fluentd Integration
+============================================
+
+NFVbench has an optional fluentd integration to save logs and results.
+
+Configuring Fluentd to receive NFVbench logs and results
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The following configurations should be added to Fluentd configuration file to enable logs or results.
+
+To receive logs, and forward to a storage server:
+
+In the example below nfvbench is the tag name for logs (which should be matched with logging_tag
+under NFVbench configuration), and storage backend is elasticsearch which is
+running at localhost:9200.
+
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+ <match nfvbench.**>
+ @type copy
+ <store>
+ @type elasticsearch
+ host localhost
+ port 9200
+ logstash_format true
+ logstash_prefix nfvbench
+ utc_index false
+ flush_interval 15s
+ </store>
+ </match>
+
+To receive results, and forward to a storage server:
+
+In the example below resultnfvbench is the tag name for results (which should be matched with result_tag
+under NFVbench configuration), and storage backend is elasticsearch which is
+running at localhost:9200.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+ <match resultnfvbench.**>
+ @type copy
+ <store>
+ @type elasticsearch
+ host localhost
+ port 9200
+ logstash_format true
+ logstash_prefix resultnfvbench
+ utc_index false
+ flush_interval 15s
+ </store>
+ </match>
+
+Configuring NFVbench to connect Fluentd
+---------------------------------------
+
+To configure NFVbench to connect Fluentd, fill following configuration parameters in the
+configuration file
+
++------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| Configuration | Description |
++======================================================+======================================================+
+| logging_tag | Tag for NFVbench logs, it should be the same tag |
+| | defined in Fluentd configuration |
++------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| result_tag | Tag for NFVbench results, it should be the same tag |
+| | defined in Fluentd configuration |
++------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| ip | ip address of Fluentd server |
++------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+| port | port number of Fluentd serverd |
++------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------+
+
+An example of configuration for Fluentd working at 127.0.0.1:24224 and tags for logging is nfvbench
+and result is resultnfvbench
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+ fluentd:
+ # by default (logging_tag is empty) nfvbench log messages are not sent to fluentd
+ # to enable logging to fluents, specify a valid fluentd tag name to be used for the
+ # log records
+ logging_tag: nfvbench
+
+ # by default (result_tag is empty) nfvbench results are not sent to fluentd
+ # to enable sending nfvbench results to fluentd, specify a valid fluentd tag name
+ # to be used for the results records, which is different than logging_tag
+ result_tag: resultnfvbench
+
+ # IP address of the server, defaults to loopback
+ ip: 127.0.0.1
+
+ # port # to use, by default, use the default fluentd forward port
+ port: 24224
+
+Example of logs and results
+---------------------------
+
+An example of log obtained from fluentd by elasticsearch:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ {
+ "_index": "nfvbench-2017.10.17",
+ "_type": "fluentd",
+ "_id": "AV8rhnCjTgGF_dX8DiKK",
+ "_version": 1,
+ "_score": 3,
+ "_source": {
+ "loglevel": "INFO",
+ "message": "Service chain 'PVP' run completed.",
+ "@timestamp": "2017-10-17T18:09:09.516897+0000",
+ "runlogdate": "2017-10-17T18:08:51.851253+0000"
+ },
+ "fields": {
+ "@timestamp": [
+ 1508263749516
+ ]
+ }
+ }
+
+
+
+For each packet size and rate a result record is sent. Users can label those results by passing
+--user-label parameter to NFVbench run
+
+.. code-block::bash
+ nfvbench --rate 1% --user-label nfvbench-label
+
+And the results of this command obtained from fluentd by elasticsearch:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ {
