fluent-plugin-flatten-hash, a plugin for Fluentd

Build Status

A fluentd plugin to flatten nested hash structure as a flat record with unique keys generated by its path for each values.

Requirements

fluent-plugin-flatten-hash fluentd ruby
>= 0.5.0 >= 0.14.8 >= 2.1
< 0.5.0 > 0.12.0 >= 1.9

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fluent-plugin-flatten-hash'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fluent-plugin-flatten-hash

Configuration

fluent-plugin-flatten-hash supports both Output and Filter plugin.

Output

You can set a configuration like below:

<match message>
  type flatten_hash
  add_tag_prefix flattened.
  separator _
</match>

In this configuration, if you get a following nested/complex message:

{
  "message":{
    "today":"good day",
    "tommorow":{
      "is":{
        "a":{
          "bad":"day"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "days":[
    "2013/08/24",
    "2013/08/25"
  ]
}

The message is flattened like below:

{
  "message_today":"good day",
  "message_tommorow_is_a_bad":"day",
  "days_0":"2013/08/24",
  "days_1":"2013/08/25"
}

In order to prevent arrays from being indexed, you can use a configuration like below:

<match message>
  type flatten_hash
  add_tag_prefix flattened.
  separator _
  flatten_array false
</match>

Using the same input, you'll instead end up with a message flattened like below:

{
  "message_today":"good day",
  "message_tommorow_is_a_bad":"day",
  "days":["2013/08/24","2013/08/25"]
}

Filter

You can set a configuration like below:

<filter message>
  type flatten_hash
  separator _
</filter>

<match message>
  type stdout
</match>
