In working with the fluentd packaging from the opstools sig, I think we need to make at least two changes:
- For type=tail sources, fluentd really wants a pos_file parameter to track the file position. It would be helpful if we created /run/fluentd via /etc/tmpfiles.d as a common location for storing these files.
Is /run/fluentd directory persistent across reboots of the machine? Wouldn't the nature of a pos file require that to be useful?
See https://github.com/fluent/fluentd/issues/879 for more information around locating a pos file with a log file in a directory that does not exist.
- I think that the *_secure_forward plugins (which permit using ssl for communication between a fluentd client and a collector) are going to be a necessity for just about everybody, so these should probably be packaged in manner similar to the elasticsearch plugin.
