Exit

Exit Fluent Bit after a number of flushes, records, or seconds.

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.

Configuration parameters

Key	Description	Default
flush_count	Number of flushes to wait for before exiting.	-1
record_count	Number of records to wait for before exiting.	-1
time_count	Number of seconds to wait for before exiting.	-1
