gofluent

wercker status

This program is something acting like fluentd rewritten in Go.

Introduction

Fluentd is originally written in CRuby, which has too many dependecies.

I hope fluentd to be simpler and cleaner, as its main feature is simplicity and rubostness.

Plugins

Tail Input Plugin

The in_tail input plugin allows gofluent to read events from the tail of text files. Its behavior is similar to the tail -F command.

Example Configuration

in_tail is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.

<source>
  type tail
  path /var/log/httpd-access.log
  pos_file /var/log/httpd-access.log.pos
  tag apache.access
  format /^(?P<host>[^ ]*) [^ ]* (?P<user>[^ ]*) \[(?P<time>[^\]]*)\] "(?P<method>\S+)(?: +(?P<path>[^ ]*) +\S*)?" (?P<code>[^ ]*) (?P<size>[^ ]*)(?: "(?P<referer>[^\"]*)" "(?P<agent>[^\"]*)")?$/
</source>

type (required) The value must be tail.

tag (required) The tag of the event.

path (required) The paths to read.

format (required) The format of the log. It is the name of a template or regexp surrounded by ‘/’. The regexp must have at least one named capture (?P<NAME>PATTERN).

The following templates are supported:

  • regexp
  • json One JSON map, per line. This is the most straight forward format :).
format json

pos_file (highly recommended) This parameter is highly recommended. gofluent will record the position it last read into this file.

pos_file /var/log/access.log.pos

sync_interval The sync interval of pos file, default is 2s.

Httpsqs Output Plugin

The out_httpsqs output plugin allows gofluent to send data to httpsqs mq.

Example Configuration

out_httpsqs is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.

<match httpsqs.**>
  type httpsqs
  host localhost
  port 1218
  flush_interval 10
</match>

type (required) The value must be httpsqs.

host (required) The output target host ip.

port (required) The output target host port.

auth (highly recommended) The auth password for httpsqs.

flush_interval The flush interval for sending data to httpsqs.

gzip The gzip switch, default is on.

Forward Output Plugin

The out_forward output plugin allows gofluent to forward events to another gofluent.

Example Configuration

out_forward is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.

<match forward.**>
  type forward
  host localhost
  port 1218
  flush_interval 10
</match>

type (required) The value must be forward.

host (required) The output target host ip.

port (required) The output target host port.

flush_interval The flush interval for sending data to httpsqs.

connect_timeout The connect timeout value.

sync_interval The sync interval of metadata file, default is 2s.

buffer_path(required) The disk buffer path for output plugin, default is /tmp/test.

buffer_queue_limit The queue limit of disk buffer, default is 64M.

buffer_chunk_limit The chunk limit of disk buffer to forward, default is 8M.

Stdout Output Plugin

The out_stdout output plugin allows gofluent to print events to stdout.

Example Configuration

out_stdout is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.

<match stdout.**>
  type stdout
</match>

type (required) The value must be stdout.

Mongodb Output Plugin

The out_mongodb output plugin allows gofluent to send message to mongodb.

Example Configuration

out_mongodb is included in gofluent's core. No additional installation process is required.

<match mongodb.**>
  type mongodb
  host localhost
  port 27017
  capped on
  capped_size 1024
  database test
  collection test
  user test
  password test
</match>

type(required) The value must be mongodb.

host (required) The output target host ip.

port (required) The output target host port.

capped (highly recommended) To create a capped collection.

capped_size Specify the actual size(MB) of the capped collection.

database(required) The name of the database to be created or used.

collection(required) The name of the collection to be created or used.

user(highly recommended) The user name to login the database.
