Fleet doesn't have any log-shipping built in. Typically you would use fluentd to ship logs of the Fleet server filesystem(s).

03/06/2019, 6:57 PMThere are logging plugins for things like Kinesis, and you could write your own... though I'd recommend just configuring fluent instead of writing a plugin for that specifically

If it's easy enough for you to get fluentd on all your osquery nodes, you might as well log to the filesystems and ship from there. Sometimes it can be easier to just run the log forwarder on the Fleet server and let Fleet aggregate the logs on its own filesystem.
