Starting with newrelic-logging-1.5.0 and nri-bundle-2.14.0 the fluentbit container is outputting [INFO] Request accepted around two times per second. I have also tested the most recent version of nri-bundle: 2.20.0 and it still shows the same behavior.
This causes newrelic-logging to log a lot of data, which is also send to newrelic and thus costing customers money. For our setup this produced around 24GB in less than 24h.
I am a user of the nri-bundle chart, which installs the newrelic-logging chart.

around two times per second. I have also tested the most recent version of nri-bundle: 2.20.0 and it still shows the same behavior. This causes newrelic-logging to log a lot of data, which is also send to newrelic and thus costing customers money. For our setup this produced around 24GB in less than 24h.I think, I have tracked this down to the following line: https://github.com/newrelic/newrelic-fluent-bit-output/blob/5511fe545433d8b9f7cac90d6ae8e37d9f0208f9/out_newrelic.go#L73
Suggestion
This should not be logged in INFO but in DEBUG because it only confirms that everything has worked.
