# Wasm

Wasm Filter allows you to modify the incoming records using [Wasm](https://webassembly.org/) 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 <a href="#config" id="config"></a>

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.                                                               |

    Match dummy.*
    WASM_Path /path/to/wasm_program.wasm
    Function_Name filter_function_name
    Accessible_Paths .,/path/to/accessible

[OUTPUT]
