The out_secondary_file Output plugin writes chunks to files. This plugin is similar to out_file but this is for <secondary> use-case.
NOTE: Do not use this plugin for the primary plugin.
out_secondary_file is included in Fluentd's core.
With this configuration, failed buffer chunks are saved into /var/log/fluentd/error/dump.bin.N, N is 0-origin incremental number.
No helpers.
@type (required)The value must be secondary_file.
directorystring
required parameter
1.0.0
The directory path of the output file. Received buffer chunks are saved in this directory.
basenamestring
dump.bin
1.0.0
The basename of the output file. You can use ${chunk_id} placeholder to identify the original chunk.
The output path would be:
appendbool
false
1.0.0
Determines that the received chunk is appended to an existing file or not. By default, it is not appended and each chunk is flushed to a different path:
This makes parallel file processing easy. But if you want to disable this behavior, you can disable it by setting append true:
compressenum
text
1.0.0
Supported compress types: text, gzip
When gzip is specified, .gz is automatically added to the output file path as its suffix.
The secondary file can be resend by fluent-cat command.
Here is the example to resend dump.bin.0 to 127.0.0.1:24224 using fluent-cat.
Please see the article for the basic structure and syntax of the configuration file.
See command line option about details.
