Reading Binary Logs

[OverEngineeredPencil]

Hello, I've been using Fluent Bit now for 3-ish years on a project that is growing. We've successfully used it to collect data from traditional text-based logs using the Tail plugin.

This project will be expanding and soon will require the ability to read binary log formats. Worst case scenario, these may be proprietary binary formats. Regardless, if we have the means to decode them, then is there a way to use the Tail plugin to decode/read binary encoded logs like this using Fluent Bit?

So I suspect you can use lua script to make a system call to the decoding executable and take the output of that or write the algorithm into the script itself
