Way to pass OUTPUT context to the function FLBPluginFlush ?

[keyolk]

I have problem that supporting multiple OUPUT target using custom plugin.
From that it needs to distinguish caller of FLBPluginFlush.

from C written plugin source code,
I can see the function "flb_output_set_context"

Is there similar method on golang ?
Or schedule to support ?

@keyolk there is no API for that at the moment. Make sense to add it. How urgent it is ?

@edsiper
Thanks.

If it takes long time.
It would be better to start changing my plugin to C based thing. : (
Hope it supports the API soon.

[edsiper]

what kind of output plugin are you implementing ?

@edsiper
I have to send my logs through raw TCP based protocol.
Now I do copy&modify C based fluentd output plugin. : )

I also need this. I have multiple [OUTPUT] sections for the same plugin, intending to send some messages to one destination and others to a different destination. Right now I don't see a way of telling what messages are intended to go to what destination when my FLBPluginFlush is called. Perhaps passing in the ctx to FLBPluginFlush?

update: if is there any volunteer to work on this feel free to ping me (quite busy now)

@wfernandes and I have opened PRs that will fix this issue here:

• output: multiple go plugin instances #15
• plugin_proxy: pass ctx to remote plugins fluent-bit#1275

@edsiper This can be closed since #15 was merged.
