td-agent installing custom plugin

[Jay Wilson]

I have read the how to write a plugin for fluent. It says that the plugin needs to be lib/fluent/plugin, but I installed td-agent and I don't have a plugin directory anywhere on my system.

I have a gemspec and rb created
  . fluent-plugin-jnpr-0.1.0.gemspec
  . in_jnpr.rb

Where do I need to put these on my system for "fluent-gem install" to process them?

My directory structure is

./usr/lib/fluent/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/

If I look at a plugin like mongo I can see this path

./usr/lib/fluent/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/fluent-plugin-mongo-0.7.1/lib/fluent/plugin

but I also see the specification for mongo at this path

/usr/lib/fluent/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/specifications

So would I put my specification at the above path and then create a path like /usr/lib/fluent/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/fluent-plugin-jnpr-0.1.0/lib/fluent/plugin and put in_jnpr.rb in it? If I do all of that manually than I assume I don't need to do a "fluent-gem install", correct?

problem resolved and my plugin is now working.

Thank you everyone for all the help.

FYI:

http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/plugin-development

> To install a plugin, please put the ruby script in the /etc/fluent/plugin directory.

In fluentd, above directory is a plugin place.

In td-agent, /etc/td-agent/plugin is a plugin place too.

/etc/fluent/plugin/in_jnpr.rb for fluentd

/etc/td-agent/plugin/in_jnpr.rb for td-agent

Another approach uses fluent-gem to install local gem.

/path/to/fluent-gem install /path/to/fluent-plugin-jnpr-0.1.0.gem
