Does fluentD support feature flag (or conditional variable) to skip rule?

[Rui Zhang]

Hi all,

I tried to write some new rules in fluent.conf but I don't want fluentD to apply those rules every time I run fluentD. (The reason is that we have existing config on product environment and I don't want new rules to affect existing rules). So does anyone know if fluentD support feature flag?

For example, if below is my fluent.conf file, and I want to skip all sections/blocks with tag "event" when running fluentd, how can I achieve it? 

<source>

  …

  tag event

</source>

<filter event>

  …

</filter>

<match event>

…

Thanks,
