- 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?
Yeah, I've settled on /var/cache/fluentd for what I'm doing, rather than using an ephemeral directory.
