fluent-plugin-ohai

This is an ohai plugin for fluentd, a popular log collector. The purpose of this input plugin is to run ohai and emit the data. There are many other ways this can be achieved (e.g., in_tail + cron job) but I wanted to learn how to extend fluentd.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fluent-plugin-ohai'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fluent-plugin-ohai

Usage

Add the following configuration option in fluentd (or td-agent): 

 <source>
   type ohai
   tag ohai.message # optional; default: ohai.message
   hostname ENV["HOSTNAME"] # optional, default: current hostname (can override it here if needed)
   ohai_path /path/to/ohai # optional, directory where ohai binary is located
   interval '1200m' # optional, default every 24h data is read from ohai
 </source>
