fluent-plugin-debug

Fluentd plugin to investigate incoming messages in a short-hand.

Installation

Use RubyGems:

gem install fluent-plugin-debug

What is this for?

Do you use out_copy and out_stdout to see incoming messages?

<match **>
  type copy
  <store>
    type stdout # output incoming messages here for debug
  </store>
  <store>
    type file # something you want to do in production
  </store>
</match>

This plugin enables to write the same thing in a short-hand, by just adding debug true, as:

<match **>
  type file # something you want to do in production
  debug true # just add this for debug
</match>

Configuration

This plugin is doing something tricky, which extends arbitrary plugins so that they can use debug option parameter.

<source>
  type debug # This makes available the `debug` option for all output plugins
</source>

<match **>
  type file
  debug true # Now you can use `debug true`
</match>

If you are lazy to write even debug true, you may use debug_all option.

<source>
  type debug
  debug_all true # This makes turn on the `debug` option for all output plugins
</source>

<match **>
  type file # Now you don't need even to add `debug true`
</match>
