The plugin doesn't work as expected

[killerfish16]

Dear Arun,
I tried to use your plugin, installation is successful no issues.

I used the following config:

@type tail path C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/sample1.txt pos_file C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/pos1.txt tag test format pair_delimiter " " key_value_seperator "=" format keyvalue

And Fluentd started with the following warning

2018-06-17 22:00:38 +0530 [warn]: parameter 'key_value_seperator' in
@type tail
path "C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/sample1.txt"
pos_file "C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/pos1.txt"
tag "test"
format keyvalue
key_value_seperator =

@type keyvalue

is not used. 2018-06-17 22:00:38 +0530 [info]: #0 starting fluentd worker pid=7004 ppid=4468 worker=0 2018-06-17 22:00:38 +0530 [info]: #0 following tail of C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/ bpost/sample1.txt 2018-06-17 22:00:38 +0530 [info]: #0 fluentd worker is now running worker=0

Testing:
Log sample:
timestamp="2018-05-25 13:36:38.802" application="xyz" category="MessagingEvent" messagingEventType="MessageReceived" messageType="Demand" barcode="323200023884776648484"

I'm getting the following warn in log and its not working:

2018-06-17 22:03:54 +0530 [warn]: #0 "timestamp="2018-05-25 13:36:38.802" appl

" messageType="Demand" barcode="323200023884776648484"" error="undefined m
ethod `<<' for nil:NilClass"

Could you please help to resolve the issue.

hi, raj, which version of fluentd are you using?. can you try key_vlaue plugin in a filter as shown in below

<filter tag>
 type parser
 format keyvalue
 pair_delimiter  ","
 key_value_seperator "="
 key_name keyToParse
</filter>

Also please try the following,

<source>
    @type tail
    path "C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/sample1.txt"
    pos_file "C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/pos1.txt"
    tag "test"
    <parse>
          @type keyvalue
           key_value_seperator  "="
    </parse>
</source>

Dear Arun,

Thanks for replying back. I like to use it Source only, will try the second option and get back to you.

@type tail path "C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/sample1.txt" pos_file "C:/Users/welcome/Desktop/bpost/pos1.txt" tag "test" @type keyvalue key_value_seperator "="

But to specify the pair_delimiter the pair delimiter in the above config.

Regards,
Raj
