Hi users!
We have released fluent-package v5.0.3. fluent-package is a stable distribution package of Fluentd. (successor of td-agent v4)
This is a maintenance release of v5.0.x LTS series. As significant slow starting service and crash issues during startup on Windows were fixed, we recommend upgrading to fluent-package v5.0.3!

correctly.We plan to ship next LTS version of fluent-package v5.0.4 on June, 2024. The content of updates are still in T.B.D.
As it was already announced Drop schedule announcement about EOL of Treasure Agent (td-agent) 4, td-agent v4 was reached EOL in Dec, 2023.
There is a exceptional maintenance release for v4.5.3 on Windows because there was a crash bug during startup on Windows. It was backported fix from fluent-package v5 as it is critical in some case.
We strongly recommend migrating from td-agent v4 to fluent-package v5 (LTS). See Upgrade to fluent-package v5

Hi users!
We have released v1.16.5 on 2024-03-27. ChangeLog is here.
The previous version v1.16.4 has a serious Buffer bug when it processes large data exceeding chunk size limit. So, we have released v1.16.5 urgently, and have fixed the bug. So, please don't use v1.16.4.
Sorry for troubling.
In the previous version v1.16.4, we fixed a Buffer bug (Please see Fluentd v1.16.4 has been released for details).
There was a race condition problem with that fix, and similar Buffer errors explained in Fluentd v1.16.4 has been released could occur.
emit transaction failed: ...
send an error event stream to @ERROR: ...
These errors are the same as the Buffer error of Fluentd v1.16.4 has been released, but it would be more likely to happen. The cause is a race condition when processing large data exceeding chunk size limit. So, in that case, these errors can occur depending on the timing.
So, please don't use v1.16.4.
See #4447 for more information.
Sorry for troubling.
Hi users!
We have released v1.16.4 on 2024-03-14. ChangeLog is here.
In this release, we fixed several bugs and improved performance.
In previous versions, when Buffer processes large data exceeding the chunk size limit, it sometimes fails and causes an emit error.
It is usually unlikely, but it may occur when Buffer receives data with extremely large records that are distributed unevenly in the data.
If you set @ERROR label, the data is routed to that label, and Fluentd outputs a warning log message: send an error event stream to @ERROR: ...
.
However, if you don't set @ERROR
label, the data is discarded, and Fluentd outputs a warning log message: emit transaction failed: ...
.
In addition, Input plugins that do not consider an emit error may stop working, such as in_windows_eventlog2
.
Here is an example of the warning message:
2024-03-22 14:13:35 +0900 [warn]: #0 emit transaction failed: error_class=IOError error="closed stream" location="/path/to/fluentd/lib/fluent/plugin/buffer/file_chunk.rb:82:in `pos'" tag="test"
If you see these warnings, please update Fluentd.
See #4342 for more information.

: Fix tail watchers in rotate_wait
state not being managed. #4334
Enjoy logging!

Summary:
Fluentd, the CNCF graduated project, starts a new chapter as the OSS project. Fluentd community released the new package fluent-package as the successor of td-agent and started providing a new release cycle to fit better with needs. This talk is going to share the latest news of Fluentd, including its updates, package, rebranding and so on, with people who are using Fluentd or struggling to manage their logs. Fluentd is an open source data collector that unifies data collection and consumption. Because of its flexible plugin system and scalability, Fluentd is adopted in various systems and has become a de facto standard, especially for scale logging in distributed systems.
In the new release cycle, the package applies only bug fixes and security fixes of Fluentd over a long term, about two years. We are confident that this will meet the demands of users who want to use Fluentd stably over the long term. In this session, we will talk about (a) the history of Fluentd v1 and td-agent v4, (b) why Fluentd community decided to rebrand existing td-agent to fluent-package, (c) what the benefits and impacts of the new release cycle are, and (d) how to upgrade to fluent-package from td-agent.
