Kernel Logs
The kmsg input plugin reads the Linux Kernel log buffer since the beginning, it gets every record and parse it field as priority, sequence, seconds, useconds, and message.
Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
Prio_Level | The log level to filter. The kernel log is dropped if its priority is more than prio_level. Allowed values are 0-8. Default is 8. 8 means all logs are saved. | 8 |
In order to start getting the Linux Kernel messages, you can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
$ bin/fluent-bit -i kmsg -t kernel -o stdout -m '*'
