# fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter, a plugin for [Fluentd](http://fluentd.org)

The Kubernetes metadata plugin filter enriches container log records with pod and namespace metadata.
This plugin derives basic metadata about the container that emitted a given log record using the source of the log record. Records from kubernetes containers encode metadata about the container in the file name. The initial metadata derived from the source is used
to lookup additional metadata about the container's associated pod and namespace (e.g. UUIDs, labels, annotations) when the kubernetes_url is configured. If the plugin cannot
authoritatively determine the namespace of the container emitting a log record, it will use an 'orphan' namespace ID in the metadata. This behaviors supports multi-tenant systems
that rely on the authenticity of the namespace for proper log isolation.
## Requirements
| fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter | fluentd | ruby |
|-------------------|---------|------|
| >= 2.10.0 | >= v1.10.0 | >= 2.6 |
| >= 2.5.0 | >= v1.10.0 | >= 2.5 |

| < 2.0.0 | >= v0.12.0 | >= 1.9 |
NOTE: For v0.12 version, you should use 1.x.y version. Please send patch into v0.12 branch if you encountered 1.x version's bug.
NOTE: This documentation is for fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter-plugin-elasticsearch 2.x or later. For 1.x documentation, please see [v0.12 branch](https://github.com/fabric8io/fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter/tree/v0.12).
## Installation
gem install fluent-plugin-kubernetes_metadata_filter
## Configuration
Configuration options for fluent.conf are:
* `kubernetes_url` - URL to the API server. Set this to retrieve further kubernetes metadata for logs from kubernetes API server. If not specified, environment variables `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST` and `KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT` will be used if both are present which is typically true when running fluentd in a pod.
* `apiVersion` - API version to use (default: `v1`)
* `ca_file` - path to CA file for Kubernetes server certificate validation
* `verify_ssl` - validate SSL certificates (default: `true`)
* `client_cert` - path to a client cert file to authenticate to the API server
* `client_key` - path to a client key file to authenticate to the API server
* `bearer_token_file` - path to a file containing the bearer token to use for authentication
* `tag_to_kubernetes_name_regexp` - the regular expression used to extract kubernetes metadata (pod name, container name, namespace) from the current fluentd tag.
This must use named capture groups for `container_name`, `pod_name`, `namespace`, and either `pod_uuid (/var/log/pods)` or `docker_id (/var/log/containers)`
* `cache_size` - size of the cache of Kubernetes metadata to reduce requests to the API server (default: `1000`)
* `cache_ttl` - TTL in seconds of each cached element. Set to negative value to disable TTL eviction (default: `3600` - 1 hour)
* `watch` - set up a watch on pods on the API server for updates to metadata (default: `true`)
* `annotation_match` - Array of regular expressions matching annotation field names. Matched annotations are added to a log record.
* `allow_orphans` - Modify the namespace and namespace id to the values of `orphaned_namespace_name` and `orphaned_namespace_id`
when true (default: `true`)
* `orphaned_namespace_name` - The namespace to associate with records where the namespace can not be determined (default: `.orphaned`)
* `orphaned_namespace_id` - The namespace id to associate with records where the namespace can not be determined (default: `orphaned`)
* `lookup_from_k8s_field` - If the field `kubernetes` is present, lookup the metadata from the given subfields such as `kubernetes.namespace_name`, `kubernetes.pod_name`, etc. This allows you to avoid having to pass in metadata to lookup in an explicitly formatted tag name or in an explicitly formatted `CONTAINER_NAME` value. For example, set `kubernetes.namespace_name`, `kubernetes.pod_name`, `kubernetes.container_name`, and `docker.container_id` in the record, and the filter will fill in the rest. (default: `true`)
* `ssl_partial_chain` - if `ca_file` is for an intermediate CA, or otherwise we do not have the root CA and want
to trust the intermediate CA certs we do have, set this to `true` - this corresponds to
the `openssl s_client -partial_chain` flag and `X509_V_FLAG_PARTIAL_CHAIN` (default: `false`)
* `skip_labels` - Skip all label fields from the metadata.
* `skip_pod_labels` - Skip only pod label fields from the metadata.
* `skip_namespace_labels` - Skip only namespace label fields from the metadata.
* `skip_container_metadata` - Skip some of the container data of the metadata. The metadata will not contain the container_image and container_image_id fields.
* `skip_master_url` - Skip the master_url field from the metadata.
* `skip_namespace_metadata` - Skip the namespace_id field from the metadata. The fetch_namespace_metadata function will be skipped. The plugin will be faster and cpu consumption will be less.
* `stats_interval` - The interval to display cache stats (default: 30s). Set to 0 to disable stats collection and logging
* `watch_retry_interval` - The time interval in seconds for retry backoffs when watch connections fail. (default: `10`)
* `open_timeout` - The time in seconds to wait for a connection to kubernetes service. (default: `3`)
* `read_timeout` - The time in seconds to wait for a read from kubernetes service. (default: `10`)
* `include_ownerrefs_metadata` - If set to true, it will include metadata (`kind` & `name`) in `kubernetes.ownerrefs` about the controller that owns the pod. (default: `false`)
Reading from a JSON formatted log files with `in_tail` and wildcard filenames while respecting the CRI-o log format with the same config you need the fluent-plugin "multi-format-parser":
```
fluent-gem install fluent-plugin-multi-format-parser
```
The config block could look like this:
```
@type tail
path /var/log/containers/*.log
pos_file fluentd-docker.pos
read_from_head true
tag kubernetes.*
@type multi_format
format json
time_key time
time_type string
time_format "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%NZ"
keep_time_key false
format regexp
expression /^(?
@type kubernetes_metadata
@type stdout
```
## Environment variables for Kubernetes
If the name of the Kubernetes node the plugin is running on is set as
an environment variable with the name `K8S_NODE_NAME`, it will reduce cache
misses and needless calls to the Kubernetes API.
In the Kubernetes container definition, this is easily accomplished by:
```yaml
env:
- name: K8S_NODE_NAME
valueFrom:
fieldRef:
fieldPath: spec.nodeName
```
## Example input/output
Kubernetes creates symlinks to Docker log files in `/var/log/containers/*.log`. Docker logs in JSON format.
Assuming following inputs are coming from a log file named `/var/log/containers/fabric8-console-controller-98rqc_default_fabric8-console-container-df14e0d5ae4c07284fa636d739c8fc2e6b52bc344658de7d3f08c36a2e804115.log`:
```
{
"log": "2015/05/05 19:54:41 \n",
"stream": "stderr",
"time": "2015-05-05T19:54:41.240447294Z"
}
```
Then output becomes as belows
```
{
"log": "2015/05/05 19:54:41 \n",
"stream": "stderr",
"docker": {
"container_id": "df14e0d5ae4c07284fa636d739c8fc2e6b52bc344658de7d3f08c36a2e804115",
