  2. Configuring Fluent Bit
  3. YAML Configuration

Includes

The includes section allows you to specify additional YAML configuration files to be merged into the current configuration. These files are identified as a list of filenames and can include relative or absolute paths. If no absolute path is provided, the file is assumed to be located in a directory relative to the file that references it.

This feature is useful for organizing complex configurations into smaller, manageable files and including them as needed.

Usage

Below is an example demonstrating how to include additional YAML files using relative path references. This is the file system path structure

├── fluent-bit.yaml
├── inclusion-1.yaml
└── subdir
    └── inclusion-2.yaml

The content of fluent-bit.yaml

includes:
  - inclusion-1.yaml
  - subdir/inclusion-2.yaml

Key Points

  • Relative Paths: If a path is not specified as absolute, it will be treated as relative to the file that includes it.

  • Organized Configurations: Using the includes section helps keep your configuration modular and easier to maintain.

note: Ensure that the included files are formatted correctly and contain valid YAML configurations for seamless integration.
