Service Discovery Plugins
Fluentd has nine (9) types of plugins:
This article gives an overview of the Service Discovery Plugin.

Overview

Some plugins support <service_discovery> (e.g. out_forward). Sometimes, the service discovery for an output plugin does not meet one's needs. Fluentd has a pluggable system called Service Discovery that lets the user extend and reuse custom output service discovery.

How To Use

Here is a simple example to update target by reading file (/etc/fluentd/sd.yaml) with out_forward and service_discovery:
<source>
@type forward
​
<service_discovery>
@type file
path "/etc/fluentd/sd.yaml"
</service_discovery>
</source>
