Heka is a Go-based tool for collecting data from many sources, performing in-flight processing, and delivering results to multiple destinations. It supports plugins written in Go or Lua but has been officially deprecated since 2016.

Use cases

  • collect and ship logs from multiple servers
  • stream process data in flight before delivery
  • parse and transform log messages in a pipeline
  • route metrics and events to multiple backends
  • build a lightweight data collection agent

When to avoid

  • starting any new project - it is deprecated
  • you need active support or updates - consider Fluentd, Vector, or Logstash instead
