This codec handles fluentd’s msgpack schema.

For example, you can receive logs fromfluent-logger-ruby with:

input {  tcp {    codec => fluent    port => 4000  }}

And from your ruby code in your own application:

logger = Fluent::Logger::FluentLogger.new(nil, :host => "example.log", :port => 4000)logger.post("some_tag", { "your" => "data", "here" => "yay!" })

• Value type isboolean
• Default value isfalse

Enables sub-second level precision while encoding events.

• Value type isstring
• There is no default value for this setting.

Define the target field for placing the decoded values. If this setting is not set, data will be stored at the root (top level) of the event.

For example, if you want data to be put under thelogs field:

input {  tcp {    codec => fluent {      target => "[logs]"    }    port => 4000  }}
