Overview

This document describes how to use SCF to dump CLS logs to CKafka. CLS is mainly used for log collection, SCF mainly provides node computing capabilities for data processing, and CKafka mainly provides terminal dumping capabilities for data streams. For the data processing flowchart, please see Function Processing Overview.
