The expect filter plugin lets you validate that records match certain criteria in their structure, like validating that a key exists or it has a specific value.
For a detailed explanation of its usage and use cases, see .
The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
key_exists
Check if a key with a given name exists in the record.
key_not_exists
Check if a key doesn't exist in the record.
key_val_is_null
Check that the value of the key is NULL.
key_val_is_not_null
Check that the value of the key is NOT NULL.
key_val_eq
Check that the value of the key equals the given value in the configuration.
action
Action to take when a rule doesn't match. Available options are warn , exit or result_key. On warn, a warning message is sent to the logging layer when a mismatch of the key* rules is found. Using exit makes Fluent Bit exit with status code 255. result_key adds a matching result to each record.
result_key
Specify a key name for the matching result added when action is set to result_key.
