<fields> does not handle nested records
What would you like to be added:
Fluentd v1.0 or later provides record_accessor as a built-in core feature.
Currently, nested records are not able to become a dimensions.
record_accessor usage is:
- Include record_accessor module with:
helpers :record_accessor - Prepare record_accessor module's instances with:
record_accessor_create(key) - Using
record_accessormodule's methods; #call, #delete, #set
Why is this needed:
Sometimes, Fluentd handles logs that contain nested records. We'd appreciated if this feature could be provided in the future.
There is a workaround for this: Using filter_record_modifier to flatten nested record before processing and sending logs with this plugin.
