Troubleshoot Fluentd

When to use this skill

• Buffer Saturation (Backpressure): Destination slow/unreachable then buffer
• Retry Storm: Output fails repeatedly then exponential backoff then queue never
• Memory Bloat / OOM: Ruby memory fragmentation, or memory-backed buffers
• Poison Pill Crash Loop: Malformed log line causes parser crash then process
