Modifying the fluentd configuration file
Modify the fluentd.conf configuration file if you want to modify the existing plug-in definitions.
To modify the fluentd.conf file
- On the CloudPoint host, open the
/cloudpoint/fluent/fluent.confconfiguration file in a text editor of your choice and then edit the contents to add or remove a plug-in definition. - Save all the changes to the file.
- Restart the
flexsnap-fluentdcontainer service using the following command:# sudo docker restart flexsnap-fluentd
Note that the changes take effect immediately and are applicable 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.
