Delayed output plugin for Fluent event collector¶ ↑

if events has future time. it will be delayed insert. Basically, we don’t have to modify event time. delayed insert looks very useful in some cases. imagine it!

now: 2011-10-22 10:00:00
           |
event{
 time: 2011-10-22 10:00:05, # 5 seconds future
 ...
}
           |
[fluentd-delayed-output]
     waiting 5 seconds
(Coolio buffering events and fire when specified time has come.)
           |
     [emit the event]

this plugin targets easily implementation. it has a risk of disappear events if you specify long delay time.

$ rake build
$ gem install pkg/fluent-plugin-delayed-0.0.1.gem
