Add exclude path dynamically to fluent.conf

[BIJAY PARIDA]

Hi,

Is it possible to dynamically provide the exclude path in the fluentd.conf?

Existing conf

===========

<source>

  @type tail

  path /var/log/containers/*.log

  exclude_path ["/var/log/containers/*fluent*"]

  pos_file /var/log/containers/containers-log.pos

  tag kubernetes.*

  read_from_head true

  <parse>

    @type json

    time_format %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S

  </parse>

</source>

Proposed conf

===========

<source>

  @type tail

  path /var/log/containers/*.log

  echo "exclude_path `cat exclude_path`"

  #OR

  #exclude_path `cat exclude_path`

  pos_file /var/log/containers/containers-log.pos

  tag kubernetes.*

  read_from_head true

  <parse>

    @type json

    time_format %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S

  </parse>

</source>

Is this going to work? If not how to achieve this?

Thanks

Missed to add that.

exclude_path=["/var/log/containers/*fluent*"]

But not sure where add this file.

If your 'dynamically' mean configuration parsing phase, you can use embbeded ruby code feature
