Multi format parser plugin for Fluentd

Parse format mixed logs.

Installation

Use RubyGems:

fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-multi-format-parser

Configuration

This plugin is a parser plugin. After installed, you can use multi_format in format supported plugins. Use multiple <pattern> to specify multiple format.

<source>
  @type udp
  tag logs.multi

  format multi_format
  <pattern>
    format apache
  </pattern>
  <pattern>
    format json
    time_key timestamp
  </pattern>
  <pattern>
    format none
  </pattern>
</match>

multi_format tries pattern matching from top to bottom and returns parsed result when matched.

Available format patterns and parameters are depends on Fluentd parsers. See in_tail format document for more details.

For v0.14

This plugin handles pattern section manually, so v0.14's automatic parameter conversion doesn't work well. If you want to use this plugin with v0.14, you need to use v0.14 parser syntax like below

<filter app.**>
  @type parser
  key_name message
  <parse> # Use <parse> section for parser parameters
    @type multi_format
    <pattern>
      format json
    </pattern>
    <pattern>
      format none
    </pattern>
  </parse>
</filter>

NOTE

This plugin doesn't work with multiline parsers because parser itself doesn't store previous lines.
