@errm,
I have noticed several instances where people are copying and pasting the example plugin configuration from the README.md
as a starting point for configuration. I didn't really account for that when creating the somewhat arbitrary example field_map
. I created the example to try and cover all the functionality of the mutator, but it's not very practical for real-world use. Do you think it's worth addressing that in the documentation before the 1.0 release?
Two possible solutions:
field_map
that still illustrates all major functionality of the mutatorfield_map
entry config from the main config example and expand the documentation to cover the field_map
further down the readme. I assume, but could be wrong, that the lowercasing and underscore stripping alone would be sufficient in the main example for the majority of "getting started" use cases.Good point @emacski, I will also work on improving the documentation pre 1.0.0
This plugin has been used by an number of users e.g. https://github.com/fluent/fluentd-kubernetes-daemonset
It seems to be mostly stable so I am considering cutting a 1.0 branch and cleaning up a little of the backwards compatibility code e.g. https://github.com/reevoo/fluent-plugin-systemd/blob/master/lib/fluent/plugin/systemd/pos_writer.rb#L62
If there are any other issues/features that I need to look at before then please mention them now as I plan to favour stability over features once this goes 1.0
