kubernetes() source options
The kubernetes() source has the following options:
base-dir()
| Type: | path without filename |
| Default: | /var/log/containers |
Description: The path to the directory that contains the log files, for example, base-dir("/var/log/pods").
cluster-name()
| Type: | string |
| Default: | k8s |
Description: The name of the Kubernetes cluster.
key-delimiter()
| Type: | character |
| Default: | . |
Description: The delimiter character to use when parsing flattened keys. Supports Only single characters.
prefix()
| Synopsis: | prefix() |
Description: Insert a prefix before the name part of the parsed name-value pairs to help further processing. For example:
-
To insert the
my-parsed-data.prefix, use theprefix(my-parsed-data.)option. -
To refer to a particular data that has a prefix, use the prefix in the name of the macro, for example,
${my-parsed-data.name}. -
If you forward the parsed messages using the IETF-syslog protocol, you can insert all the parsed data into the SDATA part of the message using the
prefix(.SDATA.my-parsed-data.)option.
Names starting with a dot (for example, .example) are reserved for use by AxoSyslog. If you use such a macro name as the name of a parsed value, it will attempt to replace the original value of the macro (note that only soft macros can be overwritten, see Hard versus soft macros for details). To avoid such problems, use a prefix when naming the parsed values, for example, prefix(my-parsed-data.)
The prefix() option is optional and its default value is ".k8s.".
