# Exit

The *exit* plugin is a utility plugin which causes Fluent Bit to exit after one of the following occurs:

* receiving a set number of records (`record_count`).
* being flushed a set number of times (`flush_count`).
* being flushed after a set number of seconds have transpired (`time_count`).

At least one of these parameters must be set. If more than one is set the plugin exits when any one of the set conditions is met.
