Feature Request - batch logging in FluentLogger->post() function

[chobie]

AFAIK, fluentd doesn't have such interface. in_tail might solve your concerns.
I recommend to use in_tail and FileLogger if you can switch fluentd configuration.

Basically, PHP is poor about back ground task like sending metrics data. It's PHP architecture design. But it can improve with C extension. I'll plan to add async logger this year.

Yes, this does improve performance. curl is always faster than file_get_contents.

FYI: For now, you can use Embulk for batch operations.
Embulk is designed for batch operations.

This issue seems to request micro-batch forward, not Embulk like huge batching.

in_forward accepts multiple events in one request so supporting this is good for some users.
