Text of the page (random words):
optional string list of fields that are excluded from the encoded event encoding gelf optional object the gelf serializer options relevant when codec gelf encoding gelf max_chunk_size optional uint maximum size for each gelf chunked datagram including 12 byte header chunking starts when datagrams exceed this size for graylog target keep at or below 8192 bytes for vector target gelf decoding with chunked_gelf framing up to 65 500 bytes is recommended default 8192 encoding json optional object options for the jsonserializer relevant when codec json encoding json pretty optional bool whether to use pretty json formatting default false encoding metric_tag_values optional string literal enum controls how metric tag values are encoded when set to single only the last non bare value of tags are displayed with the metric when set to full all metric tags are exposed as separate assignments relevant when codec json or codec text enum options option description full all tags are exposed as arrays of either string or null values single tag values are exposed as single strings the same as they were before this config option tags with multiple values show the last assigned value and null values are ignored default single encoding only_fields optional string list of fields that are included in the encoded event encoding protobuf required object options for the protobuf serializer relevant when codec protobuf encoding protobuf desc_file required string literal the path to the protobuf descriptor set file this file is the output of protoc i include path o desc output path proto you can read more here examples etc vector protobuf_descriptor_set desc encoding protobuf message_type required string literal the name of the message type to use for serializing examples package message encoding protobuf use_json_names optional bool use json field names camelcase instead of protobuf field names snake_case when enabled the serializer looks for fields using their json names as defined in the proto file for example jobdescription instead of job_description this is useful when working with data that has already been converted from json or when interfacing with systems that use json naming conventions default false encoding syslog optional object options for the syslog serializer relevant when codec syslog encoding syslog app_name optional string literal path to a field in the event to use for the app name if not provided the encoder checks for a semantic service field if that is also missing it defaults to vector encoding syslog facility optional string literal path to a field in the event to use for the facility defaults to user encoding syslog msg_id optional string literal path to a field in the event to use for the msg id encoding syslog proc_id optional string literal path to a field in the event to use for the proc id encoding syslog rfc optional string literal enum rfc to use for formatting enum options option description rfc3164 the legacy rfc3164 syslog format rfc5424 the modern rfc5424 syslog format default rfc5424 encoding syslog severity optional string literal path to a field in the event to use for the severity defaults to informational encoding timestamp_format optional string literal enum format used for timestamp fields enum options option description rfc3339 represent the timestamp as a rfc 3339 timestamp unix represent the timestamp as a unix timestamp unix_float represent the timestamp as a unix timestamp in floating point unix_ms represent the timestamp as a unix timestamp in milliseconds unix_ns represent the timestamp as a unix timestamp in nanoseconds unix_us represent the timestamp as a unix timestamp in microseconds endpoint optional string literal custom endpoint for use with aws compatible services examples http 127 0 0 0 5000 path to service group_name required string template the group name of the target cloudwatch logs stream note this parameter supports vector s template syntax which enables you to use dynamic per event values examples group name file healthcheck optional object healthcheck configuration healthcheck enabled optional bool whether or not to check the health of the sink when vector starts up default true inputs required string a list of upstream source or transform ids wildcards are supported see configuration for more info array string literal examples my source or transform id prefix kms_key optional string literal the arn amazon resource name of the kms key to use when encrypting log data proxy optional object proxy configuration configure to proxy traffic through an http s proxy when making external requests similar to common proxy configuration convention you can set different proxies to use based on the type of traffic being proxied you can also set specific hosts that should not be proxied proxy enabled optional bool enables proxying support default true proxy http optional string literal proxy endpoint to use when proxying http traffic must be a valid uri string examples http foo bar 3128 proxy https optional string literal proxy endpoint to use when proxying https traffic must be a valid uri string examples http foo bar 3128 proxy no_proxy optional string a list of hosts to avoid proxying multiple patterns are allowed pattern example match domain names example com matches requests to example com wildcard domains example com matches requests to example com and its subdomains ip addresses 127 0 0 1 matches requests to 127 0 0 1 cidr blocks 192 168 0 0 16 matches requests to any ip addresses in this range splat matches all hosts region optional string literal the aws region of the target service examples us east 1 request optional object outbound http request settings request adaptive_concurrency optional object configuration of adaptive concurrency parameters these parameters typically do not require changes from the default and incorrect values can lead to meta stable or unstable performance and sink behavior proceed with caution request adaptive_concurrency decrease_ratio optional float the fraction of the current value to set the new concurrency limit when decreasing the limit valid values are greater than 0 and less than 1 smaller values cause the algorithm to scale back rapidly when latency increases note the new limit is rounded down after applying this ratio default 0 9 request adaptive_concurrency ewma_alpha optional float the weighting of new measurements compared to older measurements valid values are greater than 0 and less than 1 arc uses an exponentially weighted moving average ewma of past rtt measurements as a reference to compare with the current rtt smaller values cause this reference to adjust more slowly which may be useful if a service has unusually high response variability default 0 4 request adaptive_concurrency initial_concurrency optional uint the initial concurrency limit to use if not specified the initial limit is 1 no concurrency datadog recommends setting this value to your service s average limit if you re seeing that it takes a long time to ramp up adaptive concurrency after a restart you can find this value by looking at the adaptive_concurrency_limit metric default 1 request adaptive_concurrency max_concurrency_limit optional uint the maximum concurrency limit the adaptive request concurrency limit does not go above this bound this is put in place as a safeguard default 200 request adaptive_concurrency rtt_deviation_scale optional float scale of rtt deviations which are not considered anomalous valid values are greater than or equal to 0 and reasonable values range from 1 0 to 3 0 when calculating the past rtt average a secondary deviation value is also computed that indicates how variable those values are that deviation is used when comparing the past rtt average to the current measurements so we can ignore increases in rtt that are within an expected range this factor is used to scale up the deviation to an appropriate range larger values cause the algorithm to ignore larger increases in the rtt default 2 5 request concurrency optional string literal enum uint configuration for outbound request concurrency this can be set either to one of the below enum values or to a positive integer which denotes a fixed concurrency limit enum options option description adaptive concurrency is managed by vector s adaptive request concurrency feature none a fixed concurrency of 1 only one request can be outstanding at any given time default adaptive request headers optional object additional http headers to add to every http request request headers required string literal an http request header and its value both header names and values support templating with event data examples accept text plain x event level level x event timestamp timestamp x my custom header a value request rate_limit_duration_secs optional uint the time window used for the rate_limit_num option default 1 seconds request rate_limit_num optional uint the maximum number of requests allowed within the rate_limit_duration_secs time window default 9 223372036854776e 18 requests request retry_attempts optional uint the maximum number of retries to make for failed requests default 9 223372036854776e 18 retries request retry_initial_backoff_secs optional uint the amount of time to wait before attempting the first retry for a failed request after the first retry has failed the fibonacci sequence is used to select future backoffs default 1 seconds request retry_jitter_mode optional string literal enum the jitter mode to use for retry backoff behavior enum options option description full full jitter the random delay is anywhere from 0 up to the maximum current delay calculated by the backoff strategy incorporating full jitter into your backoff strategy can greatly reduce the likelihood of creating accidental denial of service dos conditions against your own systems when many clients are recovering from a failure state none no jitter default full request retry_max_duration_secs optional uint the maximum amount of time to wait between retries default 30 seconds request timeout_secs optional uint the time a request can take before being aborted datadog highly recommends that you do not lower this value below the service s internal timeout as this could create orphaned requests pile on retries and result in duplicate data downstream default 60 seconds retention optional object retention policy configuration for aws cloudwatch log group retention days optional uint if retention is enabled the number of days to retain logs for retention enabled optional bool whether or not to set a retention policy when creating a new log group default false stream_name required string template the stream name of the target
