AFAIK Fluentd does not have support for abstract sockets.

Note: An abstract socket is a Linux-only socket type that does not have a file system path. Instead, It's bound to a special string that starts with a null byte '\0'.

abstract: an abstract socket address is distinguished (from a path‐ name socket) by the fact that sun_path[0] is a null byte ('\0'). (...) The name has no connection with filesystem pathnames.
