+Since v0.14.7, Fluentd supports transparent data compression. You can use this feature to reduce the transferred payload size.

+  compress gzip
+  <server>
+    host 192.168.1.2

+You do not need any configuration in the receiving server. Data compression is auto-detected and handled transparently by the destination node.
