ForwardOutput 🔗︎

Variable Name Type Required Default Description
servers []FluentdServer Yes - Server definitions at least one is required
Server
require_ack_response bool No - Change the protocol to at-least-once. The plugin waits the ack from destination’s in_forward plugin.
ack_response_timeout int No 190 This option is used when require_ack_response is true. This default value is based on popular tcp_syn_retries.
send_timeout int No 60 The timeout time when sending event logs.
connect_timeout int No - The timeout time for socket connect. When the connection timed out during establishment, Errno::ETIMEDOUT is raised.
recover_wait int No 10 The wait time before accepting a server fault recovery.
heartbeat_type string No - The transport protocol to use for heartbeats. Set “none” to disable heartbeat. [transport, tcp, udp, none]
heartbeat_interval int No 1 The interval of the heartbeat packer.
phi_failure_detector bool No true Use the “Phi accrual failure detector” to detect server failure.
phi_threshold int No 16 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.
hard_timeout int No 60 The hard timeout used to detect server failure. The default value is equal to the send_timeout parameter.
expire_dns_cache int No - Set TTL to expire DNS cache in seconds. Set 0 not to use DNS Cache. (defult: 0)
dns_round_robin bool No - 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.
ignore_network_errors_at_startup bool No - Ignore DNS resolution and errors at startup time.
tls_version string No TLSv1_2 The default version of TLS transport. [TLSv1_1, TLSv1_2]
tls_ciphers string No ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:!SSLv2 The cipher configuration of TLS transport.
tls_insecure_mode bool No false Skip all verification of certificates or not.
tls_allow_self_signed_cert bool No false Allow self signed certificates or not.
tls_verify_hostname bool No true Verify hostname of servers and certificates or not in TLS transport.
tls_cert_path *secret.Secret No - The additional CA certificate path for TLS.
tls_client_cert_path *secret.Secret No - The client certificate path for TLS
tls_client_private_key_path *secret.Secret No - The client private key path for TLS.
tls_client_private_key_passphrase *secret.Secret No - The client private key passphrase for TLS.
tls_cert_thumbprint string No - The certificate thumbprint for searching from Windows system certstore This parameter is for Windows only.
tls_cert_logical_store_name string No - The certificate logical store name on Windows system certstore. This parameter is for Windows only.
tls_cert_use_enterprise_store bool No - Enable to use certificate enterprise store on Windows system certstore. This parameter is for Windows only.
keepalive bool No false Enable keepalive connection.
keepalive_timeout int No 0 Expired time of keepalive. Default value is nil, which means to keep connection as long as possible.
security *common.Security No - Security
verify_connection_at_startup bool No false Verify that a connection can be made with one of out_forward nodes at the time of startup.
buffer *Buffer No - Buffer

Fluentd Server 🔗︎

server 🔗︎

Variable Name Type Required Default Description
host string Yes - The IP address or host name of the server.
name string No - The name of the server. Used for logging and certificate verification in TLS transport (when host is address).
port int No 24224 The port number of the host. Note that both TCP packets (event stream) and UDP packets (heartbeat message) are sent to this port.
shared_key *secret.Secret No - The shared key per server.
username *secret.Secret No - The username for authentication.
password *secret.Secret No - The password for authentication.
standby bool No - 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.
weight int No 60 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. .
