The stdout output plugin allows to print to the standard output the data received through the input plugin. Their usage is very simple as follows:

Configuration Parameters

Key

Description

default

Format

Specify the data format to be printed. Supported formats are msgpack json, json_lines and json_stream.

msgpack

json_date_key

Specify the name of the date field in output

date

json_date_format

Specify the format of the date. Supported formats are double, iso8601 (eg: 2018-05-30T09:39:52.000681Z) and epoch.

double

Command Line

$ bin/fluent-bit -i cpu -o stdout -v

We have specified to gather usage metrics and print them out to the standard output in a human readable way:

$ bin/fluent-bit -i cpu -o stdout -p format=msgpack -v
