servers ([]FluentdServer, required)

Server definitions at least one is required Server

Default: -

transport (string, optional)

The transport protocol to use [ tcp, tls ]

Default: -

require_ack_response (bool, optional)

Change the protocol to at-least-once. The plugin waits the ack from destination’s in_forward plugin.

Default: -

ack_response_timeout (int, optional)

This option is used when require_ack_response is true. This default value is based on popular tcp_syn_retries.

Default: 190

send_timeout (int, optional)

The timeout time when sending event logs.

Default: 60

connect_timeout (int, optional)

The timeout time for socket connect. When the connection timed out during establishment, Errno::ETIMEDOUT is raised.

Default: -

recover_wait (int, optional)

The wait time before accepting a server fault recovery.

Default: 10

heartbeat_type (string, optional)

The transport protocol to use for heartbeats. Set “none” to disable heartbeat. [transport, tcp, udp, none]

Default: -

heartbeat_interval (int, optional)

The interval of the heartbeat packer.

Default: 1

phi_failure_detector (bool, optional)

Use the “Phi accrual failure detector” to detect server failure.

Default: true

phi_threshold (int, optional)

The threshold parameter used to detect server faults. phi_threshold is deeply related to heartbeat_interval. If you are using longer heartbeat_interval, please use the larger phi_threshold. Otherwise you will see frequent detachments of destination servers. The default value 16 is tuned for heartbeat_interval 1s.

Default: 16

hard_timeout (int, optional)

The hard timeout used to detect server failure. The default value is equal to the send_timeout parameter.

Default: 60

expire_dns_cache (int, optional)

Set TTL to expire DNS cache in seconds. Set 0 not to use DNS Cache.

Default: 0

dns_round_robin (bool, optional)

Enable client-side DNS round robin. Uniform randomly pick an IP address to send data when a hostname has several IP addresses. heartbeat_type udp is not available with dns_round_robin true. Use heartbeat_type tcp or heartbeat_type none.

Default: -

ignore_network_errors_at_startup (bool, optional)

Ignore DNS resolution and errors at startup time.

Default: -

tls_version (string, optional)

The default version of TLS transport. [TLSv1_1, TLSv1_2]

Default: TLSv1_2

tls_ciphers (string, optional)

The cipher configuration of TLS transport.

Default: ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2

tls_insecure_mode (bool, optional)

Skip all verification of certificates or not.

Default: false

tls_allow_self_signed_cert (bool, optional)

Allow self signed certificates or not.

Default: false

tls_verify_hostname (bool, optional)

Verify hostname of servers and certificates or not in TLS transport.

Default: true

tls_cert_path (*secret.Secret, optional)

The additional CA certificate path for TLS.

Default: -

tls_client_cert_path (*secret.Secret, optional)

The client certificate path for TLS

Default: -

tls_client_private_key_path (*secret.Secret, optional)

The client private key path for TLS.

Default: -

tls_client_private_key_passphrase (*secret.Secret, optional)

The client private key passphrase for TLS.

Default: -

tls_cert_thumbprint (string, optional)

The certificate thumbprint for searching from Windows system certstore This parameter is for Windows only.

Default: -

tls_cert_logical_store_name (string, optional)

The certificate logical store name on Windows system certstore. This parameter is for Windows only.

Default: -

tls_cert_use_enterprise_store (bool, optional)

Enable to use certificate enterprise store on Windows system certstore. This parameter is for Windows only.

Default: -

keepalive (bool, optional)

Enable keepalive connection.

Default: false

keepalive_timeout (int, optional)

Expired time of keepalive. Default value is nil, which means to keep connection as long as possible.

Default: 0

security (*common.Security, optional)

Security

Default: -

verify_connection_at_startup (bool, optional)

Verify that a connection can be made with one of out_forward nodes at the time of startup.

Default: false

buffer (*Buffer, optional)

Buffer

Default: -

slow_flush_log_threshold (string, optional)

The threshold for chunk flush performance check. Parameter type is float, not time, default: 20.0 (seconds) If chunk flush takes longer time than this threshold, fluentd logs warning message and increases metric fluentd_output_status_slow_flush_count.

Default: -

Fluentd Server

server

host (string, required)

The IP address or host name of the server.

Default: -

name (string, optional)

The name of the server. Used for logging and certificate verification in TLS transport (when host is address).

Default: -

port (int, optional)

The port number of the host. Note that both TCP packets (event stream) and UDP packets (heartbeat message) are sent to this port.

Default: 24224

shared_key (*secret.Secret, optional)

The shared key per server.

Default: -

username (*secret.Secret, optional)

The username for authentication.

Default: -

password (*secret.Secret, optional)

The password for authentication.

Default: -

standby (bool, optional)

Marks a node as the standby node for an Active-Standby model between Fluentd nodes. When an active node goes down, the standby node is promoted to an active node. The standby node is not used by the out_forward plugin until then.

Default: -

weight (int, optional)

The load balancing weight. If the weight of one server is 20 and the weight of the other server is 30, events are sent in a 2:3 ratio. .

Default: 60
