acknowledgements optional object deprecated this field is deprecated controls how acknowledgements are handled by this source this setting is deprecated in favor of enabling acknowledgements at the global or sink level enabling or disabling acknowledgements at the source level has no effect on acknowledgement behavior see end to end acknowledgements for more information on how event acknowledgement is handled acknowledgements enabled optional bool whether or not end to end acknowledgements are enabled for this source relevant when mode tcp address required string literal the socket address to listen for connections on or systemd n to use the nth socket passed by systemd socket activation if a socket address is used it must include a port examples 0 0 0 0 9000 systemd systemd 3 relevant when mode tcp connection_limit optional uint the maximum number of tcp connections that are allowed at any given time relevant when mode tcp keepalive optional object tcp keepalive settings for socket based components keepalive time_secs optional uint the time to wait before starting to send tcp keepalive probes on an idle connection relevant when mode tcp mode required string literal enum the type of socket to use examples tcp unix enum options string literal option description tcp listen on tcp port unix listen on unix stream socket path required string literal the unix socket path this should be an absolute path examples path to socket relevant when mode unix permit_origin optional string list of allowed origin ip networks ip addresses must be in cidr notation array string literal examples 192 168 0 0 16 127 0 0 1 32 1 128 9876 9ca3 99ab 23 128 relevant when mode tcp receive_buffer_bytes optional uint the size of the receive buffer used for each connection this generally should not need to be changed examples 65536 relevant when mode tcp socket_file_mode optional uint unix file mode bits to be applied to the unix socket file as its designated file permissions note the file mode value can be specified in any numeric format supported by your configuration language but it is most intuitive to use an octal number examples 511 384 508 relevant when mode unix tls optional object tlsenableableconfig for sources adding metadata from the client certificate tls alpn_protocols optional string sets the list of supported alpn protocols declare the supported alpn protocols which are used during negotiation with a peer they are prioritized in the order that they are defined tls ca_file optional string literal absolute path to an additional ca certificate file the certificate must be in the der or pem x 509 format additionally the certificate can be provided as an inline string in pem format examples path to certificate_authority crt tls client_metadata_key optional string literal event field for client certificate metadata tls crt_file optional string literal absolute path to a certificate file used to identify this server the certificate must be in der pem x 509 or pkcs 12 format additionally the certificate can be provided as an inline string in pem format if this is set and is not a pkcs 12 archive key_file must also be set examples path to host_certificate crt tls enabled optional bool whether to require tls for incoming or outgoing connections when enabled and used for incoming connections an identity certificate is also required see tls crt_file for more information tls key_file optional string literal absolute path to a private key file used to identify this server the key must be in der or pem pkcs 8 format additionally the key can be provided as an inline string in pem format examples path to host_certificate key tls key_pass optional string literal passphrase used to unlock the encrypted key file this has no effect unless key_file is set examples key_pass_env_var password1 tls server_name optional string literal server name to use when using server name indication sni only relevant for outgoing connections examples www example com tls verify_certificate optional bool enables certificate verification for components that create a server this requires that the client connections have a valid client certificate for components that initiate requests this validates that the upstream has a valid certificate if enabled certificates must not be expired and must be issued by a trusted issuer this verification operates in a hierarchical manner checking that the leaf certificate the certificate presented by the client server is not only valid but that the issuer of that certificate is also valid and so on until the verification process reaches a root certificate do not set this to false unless you understand the risks of not verifying the validity of certificates tls verify_hostname optional bool enables hostname verification if enabled the hostname used to connect to the remote host must be present in the tls certificate presented by the remote host either as the common name or as an entry in the subject alternative name extension only relevant for outgoing connections do not set this to false unless you understand the risks of not verifying the remote hostname relevant when mode tcp outputs component_id default output stream of the component use this component s id as an input to downstream transforms and sinks output types logs warning the fields shown below will be different if log namespacing is enabled see log namespacing for more details line a fluent message fields required string literal in addition to the defined fields all fields from the fluent message are inserted as root level fields examples hello world client_metadata optional object client tls metadata host required string literal the ip address the fluent message was sent from examples 127 0 0 1 tag required string literal the tag from the fluent message examples dummy 0 timestamp required timestamp the timestamp extracted from the fluent message examples 2020 10 10 t17 07 36 452332 z
