-r"""Fluentbit charm libraries.
-
-This library contains two main classes: `FluentbitProvider` and
-`FluentbitClient`. `FluentbitProvider` class is instantiated in the Fluentbit
-Server charm, and receives configuration data through a relation to other
-charms. `FluentbitClient` class should be instantiated in any charm that wants
-to ship logs via Fluentbit.
-
-## Forwarding logs using Fluentbit
-
-To forward logs from your charm to a centralized place using Fluentbit,
-instantiate the `FluentbitClient()` class and handle the `relation_created`
-event in your main charm code. In this event, your charm must pass all the
-configuration parameters necessary to configure Fluentbit: the inputs, the
-parsers, and the filters.
-
-For example:
-
-```python
-class MyCharm(CharmBase):
-    def __init__(self, *args):
-        super().__init__(*args)
-
-        self._fluentbit = FluentbitClient(self, "fluentbit")
-
-        self.framework.observe(self.on.fluentbit.relation_created,
-                               self._fluentbit_relation_created)
-
-    def _fluentbit_relation_created(self, event):
-        cfg = [{"input": [("name",     "tail"),
-                          ("path",     "/var/log/foo/bar.log"),
-                          ("path_key", "filename"),
-                          ("tag",      "foo"),
-                          ("parser",   "bar")]},
-               {"parser": [("name",        "bar"),
-                           ("format",      "regex"),
-                           ("regex",       "^\[(?<time>[^\]]*)\] (?<log>.*)$"),
-                           ("time_key",    "time"),
-                           ("time_format", "%Y-%m-%dT%H,%M,%S.%L")]}]
-        self._fluentbit.configure(cfg)
-```
-
-The configuration object must be a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary must
-contain one key. The key must be the section of Fluentbit's processing
-pipeline. Valid ones are:
-- `input`
-- `filter`
-- `parser`
-- `multiline_parser`
-- `output`
-
-The value of each key must be a list of all configuration entries. Each entry
-is a tuple (or list) of values to be rendered in the configuration files.
-
-Your charm's `metadata.yaml` should have the Fluentbit relation entry in the
-`requires` section:
-
-```
-requires:
-      fluentbit:
-          interface: fluentbit
-```
-
-
-## FluentbitProvider class
-
-This class receives the configuration data and forwards to the Fluentbit Charm,
-to rewrite the configuration files and restart the service. This class should
-only be instantiated by Fluentbit Charm.
-
-## Caveats
-
-The charm does not validate the configuration files before restarting the
-service. It is the charm author's responsibility to ensure the configuration is
-correct.
