fluent-plugin-out-falcon, a plugin for Fluentd

A fluentd output plugin for sending logs to falcon's push API.

Configuration options

record option will be posted to falcon. It can only be in one line(limited by fluentd), in the form as ([{ruby_hash_items},{ruby_hash_items},...]). The outsider () is used to avoid fluentd interpret this line as json. You can use tag, time and record variables while writing ruby_hash.
