    'type'   => 'tail',
    'format' => 'json',
    'path'   => '/var/log/test-application/*.json',
    'tag'    => 'application.test'
  }

  priority => 20,
  pattern  => '*.test',
  config   => {
    'type'   => 'record_transformer',
    'record' => {
      'hostname' => '${hostname}'

/etc/td-agent/conf.d/20-filter-test.conf
<filter *.test>
  type record_transformer
  <record>
    hostname ${hostname}
  </record>
</filter>
```
#### Match
```puppet
::fluentd::match { 'test':
  priority => 30,
  pattern  => '*.test',
  config   => {
    'flush_interval' => '30s',
    'type'           => 'secure_forward',
    'secure'         => 'yes',
    'shared_key'     => 'my_shared_key',
    'self_hostname'  => 'instance.test.com',

### Match Store
```puppet

* Ubuntu 12.04

Testing on other platforms has been light and cannot be guaranteed.

## Development

### Running the test suite

To run the tests install the ruby dependencies with `bundler` and execute
`rake`:

```
bundle install --path vendor/bundle
bundle exec rake spec
bundle exec rake lint
bundle exec rake beaker BEAKER_set=ubuntu-server-1204-x64
bundle exec rake beaker BEAKER_set=ubuntu-server-1404-x64
bundle exec rake beaker BEAKER_set=debian-60-x64
bundle exec rake beaker BEAKER_set=debian-78-x64
bundle exec rake beaker BEAKER_set=debian-82-x64
