[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/sonots/fluent-plugin-record-reformer.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/sonots/fluent-plugin-record-reformer)

Fluentd plugin to add or replace fields of a event record

## Requirements

See [.travis.yml](.travis.yml)

Note that `fluent-plugin-record-reformer` supports both v0.14 API and v0.12 API in one gem.

## Installation

Use RubyGems:

gem install fluent-plugin-record-reformer

## Configuration

Example:


type record_reformer
remove_keys remove_me
renew_record false
enable_ruby false

tag reformed.${tag_prefix[-2]}

hostname ${hostname}
input_tag ${tag}
last_tag ${tag_parts[-1]}
message ${record['message']}, yay!

Assume following input is coming (indented):

```js
foo.bar {
"remove_me":"bar",
"not_remove_me":"bar",
"message":"Hello world!"
}
```

then output becomes as below (indented):

```js
reformed.foo {
"not_remove_me":"bar",
"hostname":"YOUR_HOSTNAME",
"input_tag":"foo.bar",
"last_tag":"bar",
"message":"Hello world!, yay!",
}
```

## Configuration (Classic Style)

Example:


type record_reformer
remove_keys remove_me
renew_record false
enable_ruby false
tag reformed.${tag_prefix[-2]}

hostname ${hostname}
input_tag ${tag}
last_tag ${tag_parts[-1]}
message ${record['message']}, yay!

This results in same, but please note that following option parameters are reserved, so can not be used as a record key.

## Option Parameters

- output_tag (obsolete)

The output tag name. This option is deprecated. Use `tag` option instead

- tag

The output tag name.

- remove_keys

Specify record keys to be removed by a string separated by , (comma) like

remove_keys message,foo

- renew_record *bool*

`renew_record true` creates an output record newly without extending (merging) the input record fields. Default is `false`.

- renew\_time\_key *string*

`renew_time_key foo` overwrites the time of events with a value of the record field `foo` if exists. The value of `foo` must be a unix time.

- keep_keys

You may want to remain some record fields although you specify `renew_record true`. Then, specify record keys to be kept by a string separated by , (comma) like

keep_keys message,foo

- enable_ruby *bool*

Enable to use ruby codes in placeholders. See `Placeholders` section.
Default is `true` (just for lower version compatibility).

- auto_typecast *bool*

Automatically cast the field types. Default is false.
NOTE: This option is effective only for field values comprised of a single placeholder.

Effective Examples:

foo ${foo}

Non-Effective Examples:

foo ${foo}${bar}
foo ${foo}bar
foo 1

Internally, this **keeps** the type of value if the value text is comprised of a single placeholder, otherwise, values are treated as strings.

When you need to cast field types manually, [out_typecast](https://github.com/tarom/fluent-plugin-typecast) and [filter_typecast](https://github.com/sonots/fluent-plugin-filter_typecast) are available.

## Placeholders

Following placeholders are available:

* ${record["key"]} Record value of `key` such as `${record["message"]}` in the above example (available from v0.8.0).
* Originally, record placeholders were available as `${key}` such as `${message}`. This is still kept for the backward compatibility, but would be removed in the future.
* ${hostname} Hostname of the running machine
* ${tag} Input tag
* ${time} Time of the event
* ${tags[N]} (Obsolete. Use tag\_parts) Input tag splitted by '.'
* ${tag\_parts[N]} Input tag splitted by '.' indexed with N such as `${tag_parts[0]}`, `${tag_parts[-1]}`.
* ${tag\_prefix[N]} Tag parts before and on the index N. For example,

Input tag: prefix.test.tag.suffix

${tag_prefix[0]} => prefix
${tag_prefix[1]} => prefix.test
${tag_prefix[-2]} => prefix.test.tag
${tag_prefix[-1]} => prefix.test.tag.suffix

* ${tag\_suffix[N]} Tag parts after and on the index N. For example,

Input tag: prefix.test.tag.suffix

${tag_suffix[0]} => prefix.test.tag.suffix
${tag_suffix[1]} => test.tag.suffix
${tag_suffix[-2]} => tag.suffix
${tag_suffix[-1]} => suffix

It is also possible to write a ruby code in placeholders if you set `enable_ruby true` option, so you may write some codes as

* ${time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')}
* ${tag\_parts.last}

but, please note that enabling ruby codes is not encouraged by security reasons and also in terms of the performance.
