This receiver runs a TCP server that accepts events via the Fluent Forward protocol.

This receiver:

  • Does not support TLS or the handshake portion of the Forward protocol.
  • Does support acknowledgments of events that have the chunk option, as per the spec.
  • Supports all three event types (message, forward, packed forward, including compressed packed forward)
  • Supports listening on a Unix domain socket by making the listenAddress option of the form unix://<path to socket>.
  • If using TCP, it will start a UDP server on the same port to deliver heartbeat echos, as per the spec.

Here is a basic example config that makes the receiver listen on all interfaces on port 8006:

receivers:
  fluentforward:
    endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8006

Development

If you are working on this receiver and need to regenerate any of the message pack autogenerated code, just run go generate on this package and its subpackages. You can get the msgp binary by just running go get -u -t github.com/tinylib/msgp, and make sure the Go binary path is on your shell's PATH.

Collector acts as an aggregator of LogRecords so that we don't have to generate as many plog.Logs instances...we can pre-batch the LogRecord instances from several Forward events into one to hopefully reduce allocations and GC overhead.
Config defines configuration for the fluentforward receiver.
