fluent-plugin-sampling-filter	fluentd	ruby
>= 1.0.0	>= v0.14.0	>= 2.1
< 1.0.0	< v0.14.0	>= 1.9

Configuration

SamplingFilter

This filter passes a specified part of whole events to following filter/output plugins:

<source>
  @type any_great_input
  @label @mydata
</source>

<label @mydata>
  <filter **>
    @type sampling
    sample_unit all
    interval 10    # pass 1/10 events to following plugins
  </filter>

  <match **>
    @type ...
  </match>
</label>

Sampling is done for all events, but we can do it per matched tags:

<source>
  @type any_great_input
  @label @mydata
</source>

<label @mydata>
  <filter **>
    @type sampling
    interval 10
    sample_unit tag # 1/10 events for each tags
  </filter>

  <match **>
    @type ...
  </match>
</label>

We can also sample based on a value in the message

<source>
  @type any_great_input
  @label @mydata
</source>

<label @mydata>
  <filter **>
    @type sampling
    interval 10
    # pass 1/10 events per user given events like: { user: { name: "Bob" }, ... }
    sample_unit $.user.name
  </filter>

  <match **>
    @type ...
  </match>
</label>

minimum_rate_per_min option(integer) configures this plugin to pass events with the specified rate even how small is the total number of whole events.

sample_unit option(string) configures this plugin to sample data based on tag(default), 'all', or by field value using the record accessor syntax.

SamplingFilterOutput

NOTE: This plugin is deprecated. Use filter plugin instead.

Pickup 1/10 messages about each tags(default: sample_unit tag), and add tag prefix sampled.

<match **>
  @type sampling_filter
  interval 10
  add_prefix sampled
</match>

<match sampled.**>
  # output configurations where to send sampled messages
</match>

Pickup 1/100 messages of all matched messages, and modify tags from input.** to output.**

<match input.**>
  @type sampling_filter
  interval 100
  sample_unit all
  remove_prefix input
  add_prefix output
</match>

<match sampled.**>
  # output configurations where to send sampled messages
</match>
