I am working on rolling out fluent-bit and currently make use of the tail
plugin for my ruby based fluentd systems.  When trying to run this on FreeBSD
it get an error:

$ fluent-bit -s 6000 -i tail  -p path=/var/log/messages -o stdout

After some digging it looks like their tail implementation is only supported on
Linux/OSX and Windows:
https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/issues/208
https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/issues/2897

Filing this ticket to see if it would be possible to get a patch together to
add support for the tail plugin.
