Parsers

Last updated 4 months ago

Was this helpful?

Parsers enable Fluent Bit components to transform unstructured data into a structured internal representation. You can define parsers either directly in the main configuration file or in separate external files for better organization.

This page provides a general overview of how to declare parsers.

The main section name is parsers, and it allows you to define a list of parser configurations. The following example demonstrates how to set up two simple parsers:

parsers:
  - name: json
    format: json

  - name: docker
    format: json
    time_key: time
    time_format: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%L"
    time_keep: true

You can define multiple parsers sections, either within the main configuration file or distributed across included files.

For more detailed information on parser options and advanced configurations, please refer to the section.
