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
