NetBackup™ Snapshot Manager for Data Center Administrator's Guide

Modifying the fluentd configuration file

Modify the fluent.conf configuration file if you want to modify the existing plug-in definitions.

To modify the fluent.conf file

  1. On the NetBackup Snapshot Manager for Data Center host, open the /cloudpoint/fluent/fluent.conf configuration file in a text editor of your choice and then edit the contents to add or remove a plug-in definition.
  2. Save all the changes to the file.
  3. Restart the flexsnap-fluentd container service using the following command:

    # sudo docker restart flexsnap-fluentd

Note that the changes take effect immediately and apply only to the newer log messages that get generated after the change. The file changes do not apply to the older logs that were generated before the configuration file was updated.
