The AWS Filter Enriches logs with AWS Metadata. Currently the plugin adds the EC2 instance ID and availability zone to log records. To use this plugin, you must be running in EC2 and have the instance metadata service enabled.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Note: If you run Fluent Bit in a container, you may have to use instance metadata v1. The plugin behaves the same regardless of which version is used.
Currently, the plugin only adds the instance ID and availability zone. AWS plans to expand this plugin in the future.
The Parser Filter plugin allows to parse field in event records.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
This is an example to parser a record {"data":"100 0.5 true This is example"}.
The plugin needs parser file which defines how to parse field.
The path of parser file should be written in configuration file at [SERVICE] section.
The output is
You can see the record {"data":"100 0.5 true This is example"} are parsed.
By default, the parser plugin only keeps the parsed fields in its output.
If you enable Reserve_Data, all other fields are preserved:
This will produce the output:
If you enable Reserved_Data and Preserve_Key, the original key field will be preserved as well:
This will produce the output:
Key
Description
Default
imds_version

The availability zone; for example, "us-east-1a".
ec2_instance_id
The EC2 instance ID.
Key | Description | Default |
Key_Name | Specify field name in record to parse. |
Parser | Specify the parser name to interpret the field. Multiple Parser entries are allowed (one per line). |
Preserve_Key | Keep original | False |
Reserve_Data | Keep all other original fields in the parsed result. If false, all other original fields will be removed. | False |
Unescape_Key | If the key is a escaped string (e.g: stringify JSON), unescape the string before to apply the parser. | False |
Select or exclude records per patterns
The Grep Filter plugin allows you to match or exclude specific records based on regular expression patterns for values or nested values.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
This plugin enables the Record Accessor feature to specify the KEY. Using the record accessor is suggested if you want to match values against nested values.
In order to start filtering records, you can run the filter from the command line or through the configuration file. The following example assumes that you have a file called lines.txt with the following content:
Note: using the command line mode need special attention to quote the regular expressions properly. It's suggested to use a configuration file.
The following command will load the tail plugin and read the content of lines.txt file. Then the grep filter will apply a regular expression rule over the log field (created by tail plugin) and only pass the records which field value starts with aa:
The filter allows to use multiple rules which are applied in order, you can have many Regex and Exclude entries as required.
If you want to match or exclude records based on nested values, you can use a Record Accessor format as the KEY name. Consider the following record example:
if you want to exclude records that match given nested field (for example kubernetes.labels.app), you can use the following rule:
Made for testing: make sure that your records contain the expected key and values
The expect filter plugin allows you to validate that records match certain criteria in their structure, like validating that a key exists or it has a specific value.
The following page just describes the configuration properties available, for a detailed explanation of its usage and use cases, please refer the following page:
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
As mentioned on top, refer to the following page for specific details of usage of this filter:
Lua Filter allows you to modify the incoming records using custom Lua Scripts.
Due to the necessity to have a flexible filtering mechanism, now is possible to extend Fluent Bit capabilities writing simple filters using Lua programming language. A Lua based filter takes two steps:
Configure the Filter in the main configuration
Prepare a Lua script that will be used by the Filter
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
In order to test the filter, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file. The following examples uses the dummy input plugin for data ingestion, invoke Lua filter using the test.lua script and calls the cb_print() function which only print the same information to the standard output:
From the command line you can use the following options:
In your main configuration file append the following Input, Filter & Output sections:
The life cycle of a filter have the following steps:
Upon Tag matching by filter_lua, it may process or bypass the record.
If filter_lua accepts the record, it will invoke the function defined in the call property which basically is the name of a function defined in the Lua script.
Invoke Lua function passing each record in JSON format.
Upon return, validate return value and take some action (described above)
The Lua script can have one or multiple callbacks that can be used by filter_lua, it prototype is as follows:
Each callback must return three values:
For functional examples of this interface, please refer to the code samples provided in the source code of the project located here:
https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/tree/master/scripts
In Lua, Fluent Bit treats number as double. It means an integer field (e.g. IDs, log levels) will be converted double. To avoid type conversion, Type_int_key property is available.
Fluent Bit supports protected mode to prevent crash when executes invalid Lua script. See also Error Handling in Application Code.
Fluent Bit Kubernetes Filter allows to enrich your log files with Kubernetes metadata.
When Fluent Bit is deployed in Kubernetes as a DaemonSet and configured to read the log files from the containers (using tail or systemd input plugins), this filter aims to perform the following operations:
Analyze the Tag and extract the following metadata:
Pod Name
Namespace
Container Name
Container ID
Query Kubernetes API Server to obtain extra metadata for the POD in question:
Pod ID
Labels
Annotations
The data is cached locally in memory and appended to each record.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Kubernetes Filter aims to provide several ways to process the data contained in the log key. The following explanation of the workflow assumes that your original Docker parser defined in parsers.conf is as follows:
Since Fluent Bit v1.2 we are not suggesting the use of decoders (Decode_Field_As) if you are using Elasticsearch database in the output to avoid data type conflicts.
To perform processing of the log key, it's mandatory to enable the Merge_Log configuration property in this filter, then the following processing order will be done:
If a Pod suggest a parser, the filter will use that parser to process the content of log.
If the option Merge_Parser was set and the Pod did not suggest a parser, process the log content using the suggested parser in the configuration.
If no Pod was suggested and no Merge_Parser is set, try to handle the content as JSON.
If log value processing fails, the value is untouched. The order above is not chained, meaning it's exclusive and the filter will try only one of the options above, not all of them.
A flexible feature of Fluent Bit Kubernetes filter is that allow Kubernetes Pods to suggest certain behaviors for the log processor pipeline when processing the records. At the moment it support:
Suggest a pre-defined parser
Request to exclude logs
The following annotations are available:
The following Pod definition runs a Pod that emits Apache logs to the standard output, in the Annotations it suggest that the data should be processed using the pre-defined parser called apache:
There are certain situations where the user would like to request that the log processor simply skip the logs from the Pod in question:
Note that the annotation value is boolean which can take a true or false and must be quoted.
Kubernetes Filter depends on either Tail or Systemd input plugins to process and enrich records with Kubernetes metadata. Here we will explain the workflow of Tail and how it configuration is correlated with Kubernetes filter. Consider the following configuration example (just for demo purposes, not production):
In the input section, the Tail plugin will monitor all files ending in .log in path /var/log/containers/. For every file it will read every line and apply the docker parser. Then the records are emitted to the next step with an expanded tag.
Tail support Tags expansion, which means that if a tag have a star character (*), it will replace the value with the absolute path of the monitored file, so if you file name and path is:
then the Tag for every record of that file becomes:
note that slashes are replaced with dots.
When Kubernetes Filter runs, it will try to match all records that starts with kube. (note the ending dot), so records from the file mentioned above will hit the matching rule and the filter will try to enrich the records
Kubernetes Filter do not care from where the logs comes from, but it cares about the absolute name of the monitored file, because that information contains the pod name and namespace name that are used to retrieve associated metadata to the running Pod from the Kubernetes Master/API Server.
If you have large pod specifications (can be caused by large numbers of environment variables, etc.), be sure to increase the
Buffer_Sizeparameter of the kubernetes filter. If object sizes exceed this buffer, some metadata will fail to be injected to the logs.
If the configuration property Kube_Tag_Prefix was configured (available on Fluent Bit >= 1.1.x), it will use that value to remove the prefix that was appended to the Tag in the previous Input section. Note that the configuration property defaults to _kube._var.logs.containers. , so the previous Tag content will be transformed from:
to:
the transformation above do not modify the original Tag, just creates a new representation for the filter to perform metadata lookup.
that new value is used by the filter to lookup the pod name and namespace, for that purpose it uses an internal Regular expression:
If you want to know more details, check the source code of that definition here.
You can see on Rublar.com web site how this operation is performed, check the following demo link:
Under certain and not common conditions, a user would want to alter that hard-coded regular expression, for that purpose the option Regex_Parser can be used (documented on top).
So at this point the filter is able to gather the values of pod_name and namespace, with that information it will check in the local cache (internal hash table) if some metadata for that key pair exists, if so, it will enrich the record with the metadata value, otherwise it will connect to the Kubernetes Master/API Server and retrieve that information.
The Record Modifier Filter plugin allows to append fields or to exclude specific fields.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters: Remove_key and Whitelist_key are exclusive.
In order to start filtering records, you can run the filter from the command line or through the configuration file.
This is a sample in_mem record to filter.
The following configuration file is to append product name and hostname (via environment variable) to record.
You can also run the filter from command line.
The output will be
The following configuration file is to remove 'Swap.*' fields.
You can also run the filter from command line.
The output will be
The following configuration file is to remain 'Mem.*' fields.
You can also run the filter from command line.
The output will be
Powerful and flexible routing
Tags are what makes routing possible. Tags are set in the configuration of the Input definitions where the records are generated, but there are certain scenarios where might be useful to modify the Tag in the pipeline so we can perform more advanced and flexible routing.
The rewrite_tag filter, allows to re-emit a record under a new Tag. Once a record has been re-emitted, the original record can be preserved or discarded.
The way it works is defining rules that matches specific record key content against a regular expression, if a match exists, a new record with the defined Tag will be emitted. Multiple rules can be specified and they are processed in order until one of them matches.
The new Tag to define can be composed by:
Alphabet characters & Numbers
Original Tag string or part of it
Regular Expressions groups capture
Any key or sub-key of the processed record
Environment variables
The rewrite_tag filter supports the following configuration parameters:
A rule aims to define matching criteria and specify how to create a new Tag for a record. You can define one or multiple rules in the same configuration section. The rules have the following format:
The key represents the name of the record key that holds the value that we want to use to match our regular expression. A key name is specified and prefixed with a $. Consider the following structured record (formatted for readability):
If we wanted to match against the value of the key name we must use $name. The key selector is flexible enough to allow to match nested levels of sub-maps from the structure. If we wanted to check the value of the nested key s2 we can do it specifying $ss['s1']['s2'], for short:
$name = "abc-123"
$ss['s1']['s2'] = "flb"
Note that a key must point a value that contains a string, it's not valid for numbers, booleans, maps or arrays.
Using a simple regular expression we can specify a matching pattern to use against the value of the key specified above, also we can take advantage of group capturing to create custom placeholder values.
If we wanted to match any record that it $name contains a value of the format string-number like the example provided above, we might use:
Note that in our example we are using parentheses, this teams that we are specifying groups of data. If the pattern matches the value a placeholder will be created that can be consumed by the NEW_TAG section.
If $name equals abc-123 , then the following placeholders will be created:
$0 = "abc-123"
$1 = "abc"
$2 = "123"
If the Regular expression do not matches an incoming record, the rule will be skipped and the next rule (if any) will be processed.
If a regular expression has matched the value of the defined key in the rule, we are ready to compose a new Tag for that specific record. The tag is a concatenated string that can contain any of the following characters: a-z,A-Z, 0-9 and .-,.
A Tag can take any string value from the matching record, the original tag it self, environment variable or general placeholder.
Consider the following incoming data on the rule:
Tag = aa.bb.cc
Record = {"name": "abc-123", "ss": {"s1": {"s2": "flb"}}}
Environment variable $HOSTNAME = fluent
With such information we could create a very custom Tag for our record like the following:
the expected Tag to generated will be:
We make use of placeholders, record content and environment variables.
If a rule matches the criteria the filter will emit a copy of the record with the new defined Tag. The property keep takes a boolean value to define if the original record with the old Tag must be preserved and continue in the pipeline or just be discarded.
You can use true or false to decide the expected behavior. There is no default value and this is a mandatory field in the rule.
The following configuration example will emit a dummy (hand-crafted) record, the filter will rewrite the tag, discard the old record and print the new record to the standard output interface:
The original tag test_tag will be rewritten as from.test_tag.new.fluent.bit.out:
As described in the Monitoring section, every component of the pipeline of Fluent Bit exposes metrics. The basic metrics exposed by this filter are drop_records and add_records, they summarize the total of dropped records from the incoming data chunk or the new records added.
Since rewrite_tag emit new records that goes through the beginning of the pipeline, it exposes an additional metric called emit_records that summarize the total number of emitted records.
Using the configuration provided above, if we query the metrics exposed in the HTTP interface we will see the following:
Command:
Metrics output:
The dummy input generated two records, the filter dropped two from the chunks and emitted two new ones under a different Tag.
The records generated are handled by the internal Emitter, so the new records are summarized in the Emitter metrics, take a look at the entry called emitter_for_rewrite_tag.0.
The Emitter is an internal Fluent Bit plugin that allows other components of the pipeline to emit custom records. On this case rewrite_tag creates an Emitter instance to use it exclusively to emit records, on that way we can have a granular control of who is emitting what.
The Emitter name in the metrics can be changed setting up the Emitter_Name configuration property described above.
The Throttle Filter plugin sets the average Rate of messages per Interval, based on leaky bucket and sliding window algorithm. In case of overflood, it will leak within certain rate.
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Lets imagine we have configured:
we received 1 message first second, 3 messages 2nd, and 5 3rd. As you can see, disregard that Window is actually 5, we use "slow" start to prevent overflooding during the startup.
But as soon as we reached Window size * Interval, we will have true sliding window with aggregation over complete window.
When we have average over window is more than Rate, we will start dropping messages, so that
will become:
As you can see, last pane of the window was overwritten and 1 message was dropped.
You might noticed possibility to configure Interval of the Window shift. It is counter intuitive, but there is a difference between two examples above:
and
Even though both examples will allow maximum Rate of 60 messages per minute, first example may get all 60 messages within first second, and will drop all the rest for the entire minute:
While the second example will not allow more than 1 message per second every second, making output rate more smooth:
It may drop some data if the rate is ragged. I would recommend to use bigger interval and rate for streams of rare but important events, while keep Window bigger and Interval small for constantly intensive inputs.
Note: It's suggested to use a configuration file.
The following command will load the tail plugin and read the content of lines.txt file. Then the throttle filter will apply a rate limit and only pass the records which are read below the certain rate:
The example above will pass 1000 messages per second in average over 300 seconds.
The Modify Filter plugin allows you to change records using rules and conditions.
As an example using JSON notation to,
Rename Key2 to RenamedKey
Add a key OtherKey with value Value3 if OtherKey does not yet exist
Example (input)
Example (output)
The plugin supports the following rules:
Rules are case insensitive, parameters are not
Any number of rules can be set in a filter instance.
Rules are applied in the order they appear, with each rule operating on the result of the previous rule.
The plugin supports the following conditions:
Conditions are case insensitive, parameters are not
Any number of conditions can be set.
Conditions apply to the whole filter instance and all its rules. Not to individual rules.
All conditions have to be true for the rules to be applied.
Note: Using the command line mode requires quotes parse the wildcard properly. The use of a configuration file is recommended.
The output of both the command line and configuration invocations should be identical and result in the following output.
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:
We have specified to gather usage metrics and print them out to the standard output in a human readable way:
No more, no less, it just works.
The Nest Filter plugin allows you to operate on or with nested data. Its modes of operation are
nest - Take a set of records and place them in a map
lift - Take a map by key and lift its records up
As an example using JSON notation, to nest keys matching the Wildcard value Key* under a new key NestKey the transformation becomes,
Example (input)
Example (output)
As an example using JSON notation, to lift keys nested under the Nested_under value NestKey* the transformation becomes,
Example (input)
Example (output)
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
Note: Using the command line mode requires quotes parse the wildcard properly. The use of a configuration file is recommended.
The following command will load the mem plugin. Then the nest filter will match the wildcard rule to the keys and nest the keys matching Mem.* under the new key NEST.
The output of both the command line and configuration invocations should be identical and result in the following output.
This example nests all Mem.* and Swap,* items under the Stats key and then reverses these actions with a lift operation. The output appears unchanged.
This example takes the keys starting with Mem.* and nests them under LAYER1, which itself is then nested under LAYER2, which is nested under LAYER3.
This example starts with the 3-level deep nesting of Example 2 and applies the lift filter three times to reverse the operations. The end result is that all records are at the top level, without nesting, again. One prefix is added for each level that is lifted.
In order to start filtering records, you can run the filter from the command line or through the configuration file. The following invokes the , which outputs the following (example),

Suggest a pre-defined parser. The parser must be registered already by Fluent Bit. This option will only be processed if Fluent Bit configuration (Kubernetes Filter) have enabled the option K8S-Logging.Parser. If present, the stream (stdout or stderr) will restrict that specific stream. If present, the container can override a specific container in a Pod.
fluentbit.io/exclude[_stream][-container]
Request to Fluent Bit to exclude or not the logs generated by the Pod. This option will only be processed if Fluent Bit configuration (Kubernetes Filter) have enabled the option K8S-Logging.Exclude.

Append fields. This parameter needs key and value pair.
Remove_key
If the key is matched, that field is removed.
Whitelist_key
If the key is not matched, that field is removed.
Key
Description
Rule
Defines the matching criteria and the format of the Tag for the matching record. The Rule format have four components: KEY REGEX NEW_TAG KEEP. For more specific details of the Rule format and it composition read the next section.
Emitter_Name
When the filter emits a record under the new Tag, there is an internal emitter plugin that takes care of the job. Since this emitter expose metrics as any other component of the pipeline, you can use this property to configure an optional name for it.
Emitter_Storage.type
Define a buffering mechanism for the new records created. Note these records are part of the emitter plugin. This option support the values memory (default) or filesystem. If the destination for the new records generated might face backpressure due to latency or slow network, we strongly recommend enabling the filesystem mode.
Emitter_Mem_Buf_Limit
Set a limit on the amount of memory the tag rewrite emitter can consume if the outputs provide backpressure. The default for this limit is 10M. The pipeline will pause once the buffer exceeds the value of this setting. For example, if the value is set to 10M then the pipeline will pause if the buffer exceeds 10M. The pipeline will remain paused until the output drains the buffer below the 10M limit.
