Redis Output Plugin For fluentd

Fluentd output plugin to upload/publish event data to Redis storage.

Background

This is folked project from fluent-plugin-redisstore.

Features

Supported Redis commands

Currently the plugin supports following Redis commands:

• set by string type (of the plugin)
• lpush/rpush by list type
• sadd by set type
• zadd by zset type
• publish by publish type

Supported value format

• plain(as is)
• JSON
• MessagePack

key string for Redis storage

Redis commands require key and value.
For key, the plugin supports either way;

1. Specify a fixed key.
   You can do this simply using key option in td-agent configuration file.

   type redis_store
   key userdata

2. Lookup a key string in every event data by a lookup path.
   If event data have structured data like

   { "user": { "name": "Kei" } }

   and you want to use each name of user, you can use key_path option.

   type redis_store
   key_path user.name

   With the above data, Kei will be a key.

In addition, key_prefix and key_suffix are useful in some cases. Both are available either key and key_path

type redis_store
key_path user.name
key_prefix ouruser.
key_suffix .accesslog

With the previous data, key will be outuser.Kei.accesslog.

value data for Redis storage

To determine what value in every event data to be srtored, you have two options;

1. Store extracted data in event data, by a lookup path with value_path option.
   It works like key_path.
2. Store whole data.
   This is default behavior. To do it, simply omit value_path option.
