The fluentd adapter is designed to deliver Istio log entries to a listening fluentd daemon.

This adapter supports the logentry template.

Params

Configuration parameters for the fluentd adapter.

This adapter accepts instances of kind: logentry. It then routes those logentries to a listening fluentd daemon with minimal transformation. Fluentd uses a “tag” for all logs. The “Name” of the logentry is used as the “tag”, unless the logentry already has a variable “tag”.

Field Type Description
address string

Address of listening fluentd daemon. Example: fluentd-server:24224 Default value is localhost:24224

integerDuration bool

Convert attributes of type duration to integers of unit ms in logs. Default behaviour is a string representation including unit.
