Introduction
============

Fluentd is originally written in CRuby, which has too many dependecies.

I hope fluentd to be simpler and cleaner, as its main feature is simplicity and rubostness.

Plugins
=======

Tail Input Plugin
-----------------
The in_tail input plugin allows gofluent to read events from the tail of text files. Its behavior is similar to the tail -F command.

Example Configuration

in_tail is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.
```

type tail
path /var/log/httpd-access.log
pos_file /var/log/httpd-access.log.pos
tag apache.access
format /^(?P[^ ]*) [^ ]* (?P[^ ]*) \[(?P
```
*type (required)*
The value must be tail.

*tag (required)*
The tag of the event.

*path (required)*
The paths to read.

*format (required)*
The format of the log. It is the name of a template or regexp surrounded by ‘/’.
The regexp must have at least one named capture (?P\PATTERN).

The following templates are supported:
- regexp
- json
One JSON map, per line. This is the most straight forward format :).
```
format json
```
*pos_file (highly recommended)*
This parameter is highly recommended. gofluent will record the position it last read into this file.
```
pos_file /var/log/access.log.pos
```

*sync_interval*
The sync interval of pos file, default is 2s.

Httpsqs Output Plugin
---------------------
The out_httpsqs output plugin allows gofluent to send data to httpsqs mq.

Example Configuration

out_httpsqs is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.
```

type httpsqs
host localhost
port 1218
flush_interval 10

```
*type (required)*
The value must be httpsqs.

*host (required)*
The output target host ip.

*port (required)*
The output target host port.

*auth (highly recommended)*
The auth password for httpsqs.

*flush_interval*
The flush interval for sending data to httpsqs.

*gzip*
The gzip switch, default is on.

Forward Output Plugin
---------------------
The out_forward output plugin allows gofluent to forward events to another gofluent.

Example Configuration

out_forward is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.
```

type forward
host localhost
port 1218
flush_interval 10

```
*type (required)*
The value must be forward.

*host (required)*
The output target host ip.

*port (required)*
The output target host port.

*flush_interval*
The flush interval for sending data to httpsqs.

*connect_timeout*
The connect timeout value.

*sync_interval*
The sync interval of metadata file, default is 2s.

*buffer_path(required)*
The disk buffer path for output plugin, default is /tmp/test.

*buffer_queue_limit*
The queue limit of disk buffer, default is 64M.

*buffer_chunk_limit*
The chunk limit of disk buffer to forward, default is 8M.

Stdout Output Plugin
--------------------
The out_stdout output plugin allows gofluent to print events to stdout.

Example Configuration

out_stdout is included in gofluent’s core. No additional installation process is required.
```

type stdout

```
*type (required)*
The value must be stdout.

Mongodb Output Plugin
---------------------
The out_mongodb output plugin allows gofluent to send message to mongodb.

Example Configuration

out_mongodb is included in gofluent's core. No additional installation process is required.
```

type mongodb
host localhost
port 27017
capped on
capped_size 1024
database test
collection test
user test
password test

```
*type(required)*
The value must be mongodb.

*host (required)*
The output target host ip.

*port (required)*
The output target host port.

*capped (highly recommended)*
To create a capped collection.

*capped_size*
Specify the actual size(MB) of the capped collection.

*database(required)*
The name of the database to be created or used.

*collection(required)*
The name of the collection to be created or used.

*user(highly recommended)*
