## Description
|
||||
|
||||
Start with a one- or two-sentence summary of what the module does and/or what
|
||||
problem it solves. This is your 30-second elevator pitch for your module.
|
||||
Consider including OS/Puppet version it works with.
|
||||
The fluentd module sets up fluentd (td-agent) and manages configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
You can give more descriptive information in a second paragraph. This paragraph
|
||||
should answer the questions: "What does this module *do*?" and "Why would I use
|
||||
it?" If your module has a range of functionality (installation, configuration,
|
||||
management, etc.), this is the time to mention it.
|
||||
**This module only supports fluentd from version 2**.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup Requirements **OPTIONAL**
|
||||
This will install the latest version of fluentd
|
||||
|
||||
If your module requires anything extra before setting up (pluginsync enabled,
|
||||
etc.), mention it here.
|
||||
|
||||
If your most recent release breaks compatibility or requires particular steps
|
||||
for upgrading, you might want to include an additional "Upgrading" section
|
||||
here.
|
||||
|
||||
### Beginning with fluentd
|
||||
|
||||
The very basic steps needed for a user to get the module up and running. This
|
||||
can include setup steps, if necessary, or it can be an example of the most
|
||||
basic use of the module.
|
||||
```puppet
|
||||
include '::fluentd'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
This section is where you describe how to customize, configure, and do the
|
||||
fancy stuff with your module here. It's especially helpful if you include usage
|
||||
examples and code samples for doing things with your module.
|
||||
**By default this module doesn't configure any sources, matches or filters.** The section below describes how to configure these.
|
||||
|
||||
## Reference
|
||||
|
||||
Here, include a complete list of your module's classes, types, providers,
|
||||
facts, along with the parameters for each. Users refer to this section (thus
|
||||
the name "Reference") to find specific details; most users don't read it per
|
||||
se.
|
||||
### Configuration
|
||||
#### Source
|
||||
```puppet
|
||||
::fluentd::source { 'test':
|
||||
priority => 10,
|
||||
config => {
|
||||
'type' => 'tail'
|
||||
'format' => 'json'
|
||||
'path' => '/var/log/test-application/*.json'
|
||||
'tag' => 'application.test'
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**results in:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
/etc/td-agent/conf.d/10-source-test.conf
|
||||
<source>
|
||||
type tail
|
||||
format json
|
||||
path /var/log/test-application/*.json
|
||||
tag application.test
|
||||
</source>
|
||||
```
|
||||
#### Filter
|
||||
```puppet
|
||||
::fluentd::filter { 'test':
|
||||
priority => 20,
|
||||
pattern => '*.test'
|
||||
config => {
|
||||
'type' => 'record_transformer'
|
||||
'record' => {
|
||||
'hostname' => '${hostname}'
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**results in:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
/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'
|
||||
'ca_cert_path' => '/path/to/ca.cert'
|
||||
'servers' => {
|
||||
'host' => 'test.server.com'
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
**results in:**
|
||||
```
|
||||
/etc/td-agent/conf.d/30-match-test.conf
|
||||
<match *.test>
|
||||
flush_interval 30s
|
||||
type secure_forward
|
||||
secure yes
|
||||
shared_key my_shared_key
|
||||
self_hostname instance.test.com
|
||||
ca_cert_path /path/to/ca.cert
|
||||
<servers>
|
||||
host test.server.com
|
||||
</servers>
|
||||
</match>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Limitations
|
||||
This module has been built on and tested against Puppet 3.7.5 and higher.
|
||||
|
||||
This is where you list OS compatibility, version compatibility, etc. If there
|
||||
are Known Issues, you might want to include them under their own heading here.
|
||||
The module has been tested on:
|
||||
|
||||
* Ubuntu 12.04
|
||||
|
||||
Testing on other platforms has been light and cannot be guaranteed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Development
|
||||
|
||||
Since your module is awesome, other users will want to play with it. Let them
|
||||
know what the ground rules for contributing are.
|
||||
|
||||
## Release Notes/Contributors/Etc. **Optional**
|
||||
|
||||
If you aren't using changelog, put your release notes here (though you should
|
||||
consider using changelog). You can also add any additional sections you feel
|
||||
are necessary or important to include here. Please use the `## ` header.
