Wasm

Use Wasm programs as a filter

Wasm Filter allows you to modify the incoming records using Wasm technology.

Due to the necessity to have a flexible filtering mechanism, it is now possible to extend Fluent Bit capabilities by writing custom filters using built Wasm programs and its runtime. A Wasm-based filter takes two steps:

1. (Optional) Compiled as AOT (Ahead Of Time) objects to optimize Wasm execution pipeline

2. Configure the Filter in the main configuration

3. Prepare a Wasm program that will be used by the Filter

Configuration Parameters

The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:

Key	Description
Wasm_Path	Path to the built Wasm program that will be used. This can be a relative path against the main configuration file.
Function_Name	Wasm function name that will be triggered to do filtering. It's assumed that the function is built inside the Wasm program specified above.
Accessible_Paths	Specify the whilelist of paths to be able to access paths from WASM programs.
