Is it possible to have different name for buffer.meta and buffer.log file?

Hi,

 I am using fluentd 1.11.1. Getting below error in fluentd logs.

2021-05-11 06:38:44 +0000 [warn]: #0 failed to flush the buffer. retry_time=7 next_retry_seconds=2021-05-11 06:38:49 +0000 chunk="5c18c419a5ccef42cbe56d5f187872fd" error_class=Fluent::Plugin::ElasticsearchOutput::RecoverableRequestFailure error="could not push logs to Elasticsearch cluster ({:host=>\"nbp-elasticsearch.nsv4aniam-admin-ns.svc.cluster.local\", :port=>9200, :scheme=>\"https\"}): [413] "

When I go to the buffer location I see that for the above chunk 5c18c419a5ccef42cbe56d5f187872fd there is no proper .log and .meta files. But it is like below. .meta file begins with q5c18c419a5ccef42cbe56d5f187872fd, .log file begins with b5c18c419a5ccef42cbe56d5f187872fd. But in the above error it is not giving full chunk name. Why is it so?

 

-rw-r--r--+ 1 root root 127467469 May  5 03:01 buffer.b5c18c419a5ccef42cbe56d5f187872fd.log

-rw-r--r--+ 1 root root       132 May  5 04:38 buffer.q5c18c419a5ccef42cbe56d5f187872fd.log.meta

Is it possible to have different .meta.log file and different .log file for the same buffer chunk?
