# Fluentd Input Plugin
This plugin gathers internal metrics of a [fluentd][fluentd] instance provided
by fluentd's [monitor agent plugin][monitor_agent]. Data provided
by the `/api/plugin.json` resource, `/api/config.json` is not covered.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> This plugin might produce high-cardinality series as the `plugin_id` value is
> random after each restart of fluentd. You might need to adjust your fluentd
> configuration, in order to reduce series cardinality in case your fluentd
> restarts frequently by adding the `@id` parameter to each plugin.
> See [fluentd's documentation][docs] for details.

## Global configuration options <!-- @/docs/includes/plugin_config.md -->
In addition to the plugin-specific configuration settings, plugins support
additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.
[CONFIGURATION.md]: ../../../docs/CONFIGURATION.md#plugins
## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Read metrics exposed by fluentd in_monitor plugin
[[inputs.fluentd]]
## This plugin reads information exposed by fluentd (using /api/plugins.json endpoint).
##
## Endpoint:
## - only one URI is allowed
## - https is not supported
endpoint = "http://localhost:24220/api/plugins.json"
## Define which plugins have to be excluded (based on "type" field - e.g. monitor_agent)
exclude = [
"monitor_agent",
"dummy",
]
```
## Metrics
### Measurements & Fields
Fields may vary depending on the plugin type
- fluentd
- retry_count (float, unit)
- buffer_queue_length (float, unit)
- buffer_total_queued_size (float, unit)
- rollback_count (float, unit)
- flush_time_count (float, unit)
- slow_flush_count (float, unit)
- emit_count (float, unit)
- emit_records (float, unit)
- emit_size (float, unit)
- write_count (float, unit)
- buffer_stage_length (float, unit)
- buffer_queue_byte_size (float, unit)
- buffer_stage_byte_size (float, unit)
- buffer_available_buffer_space_ratios (float, unit)
### Tags
- All measurements have the following tags:
- plugin_id (unique plugin id)
- plugin_type (type of the plugin e.g. s3)
- plugin_category (plugin category e.g. output)
