157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

2
+
3
+ [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/awslabs/aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/awslabs/aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis)
4
+
5
+ ## Overview
6
+
7
+ [Fluentd](http://fluentd.org/) output plugin
8
+ that sends events to [Amazon Kinesis](https://aws.amazon.com/kinesis/).
9
+
10
+ ## Installation
11
+
12
+ This project has not been published in rubygems.org at this time,
13
+ so you have to build and install by yourself.
14
+ Your need [bundler](http://bundler.io/) to install.
15
+
16
+ In case of using with Fluentd:
17
+ Fluentd will be also installed via the process below.
18
+
19
+ git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis.git
20
+ cd aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis
21
+ bundle install
22
+ rake build
23
+ rake install
24
+
25
+ Also, you can use this plugin with [td-agent](https://github.com/treasure-data/td-agent):
26
+ You have to install td-agent before installing this plugin.
27
+
28
+ git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis.git
29
+ cd aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis
30
+ bundle install
31
+ rake build
32
+ fluent-gem install pkg/fluent-plugin-kinesis
33
+
34
+ Or just download specify your Ruby library path.
35
+ Below is the sample for specifying your library path via RUBYLIB.
36
+
37
+ git clone https://github.com/awslabs/aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis.git
38
+ cd aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis
39
+ bundle install
40
+ export RUBYLIB=$RUBYLIB:/path/to/aws-fluent-plugin-kinesis/lib
41
+
42
+ ## Dependencies
43
+
44
+ * Ruby 1.9.3+
45
+ * Fluentd 0.10.43+
46
+
47
+ ## Basic Usage
48
+
49
+ Here are general procedures for using this plugin:
50
+
51
+ 1. Install.
52
+ 1. Edit configuration
53
+ 1. Run Fluentd or td-agent
54
+
55
+ You can run this plugin with Fluentd as follows:
56
+
57
+ 1. Install.
58
+ 1. Edit configuration file and save it as 'fluentd.conf'.
59
+ 1. Then, run `fluentd -c /path/to/fluentd.conf`
60
+
61
+ To run with td-agent, it would be as follows:
62
+
63
+ 1. Install.
64
+ 1. Edit configuration file provided by td-agent.
65
+ 1. Then, run or restart td-agent.
66
+
67
+ ## Configuration
68
+
69
+ Here are items for Fluentd configuration file.
70
+
71
+ To put records into Amazon Kinesis,
72
+ you need to provide AWS security credentials.
73
+ If you provide aws_key_id and aws_sec_key in configuration file as below,
74
+ we use it. You can also provide credentials via environment variables as
75
+ AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY. Also we support IAM Role for
76
+ authentication. Please find the [AWS SDK for Ruby Developer Guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSdkDocsRuby/latest/DeveloperGuide/ruby-dg-setup.html)
77
+ for more information about authentication.
78
+ We support all options which AWS SDK for Ruby supports.
79
+
80
+ ### type
81
+
82
+ Use the word 'kinesis'.
83
+
84
+ ### stream_name
85
+
86
+ Name of the stream to put data.
87
+
88
+ ### aws_key_id
89
+
90
+ AWS access key id.
91
+
92
+ ### aws_sec_key
93
+
94
+ AWS secret key.
95
+
96
+ ### region
97
+
98
+ AWS region of your stream.
99
+ It should be in form like "us-east-1", "us-west-2".
100
+ Refer to [Regions and Endpoints in AWS General Reference](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ak_region)
101
+ for supported regions.
102
+
103
+ ### random_partition_key
104
+
105
+ Boolean. If true, the plugin uses randomly generated
106
+ partition key for each record. Note that this parameter
107
+ overrides *partition_key*, *partition_key_expr*,
108
+ *explicit_hash_key* and *explicit_hash_key_expr*.
109
+
110
+ ### partition_key
111
+
112
+ A key to extract partition key from JSON object.
113
+
114
+ ### partition_key_expr
115
+
116
+ A Ruby expression to extract partition key from JSON object.
117
+ We treat your expression as below.
118
+
119
+ a_proc = eval(sprintf('proc {|record| %s }', YOUR_EXPRESSION))
120
+ a_proc.call(record)
121
+
122
+ You should write your Ruby expression that receives input data
123
+ as a variable 'record', process it and return it. The returned
124
+ value will be used as a partition key. For use case example,
125
+ see 'Configuration examples' part.
126
+
127
+ ### explicit_hash_key
128
+
129
+ A key to extract explicit hash key from JSON object.
130
+ Explicit hash key is hash value used to explicitly
131
+ determine the shard the data record is assigned to
132
+ by overriding the partition key hash.
133
+
134
+ ### explicit_hash_key_expr
135
+
136
+ A Ruby expression to extract explicit hash key from JSON object.
137
+ Your expression will be treat in the same way as we treat partition_key_expr.
138
+
139
+ ### order_events
140
+
141
+ Boolean. By enabling it, you can strictly order events in Amazon Kinesis,
142
+ according to arrival of events. Without this, events will be coarsely ordered
143
+ based on arrival time. For detail,
144
+ see [Using the Amazon Kinesis Service API](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/kinesis/latest/dev/kinesis-using-api-java.html#kinesis-using-api-defn-sequence-number).
145
+
146
+ Please note that if you set *detach_process* or *num_threads greater than 1*,
147
+ this option will be ignored.
148
+
149
+ ### detach_process
150
+
151
+ Integer. Optional. This defines the number of parallel processes to start.
152
+ This can be used to increase throughput by allowing multiple processes to
153
+ execute the plugin at once. This cannot be used together with **order_events**.
154
+ Setting this option to > 0 will cause the plugin to run in a separate
155
+ process. The default is 0.
156
+
157
+ ### num_threads
158
+
159
+ Integer. The number of threads to flush the buffer. This plugin is based on
160
+ Fluentd::BufferedOutput, so we buffer incoming records before emitting them to
161
+ Amazon Kinesis. You can find the detail about buffering mechanism [here](http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/buffer-plugin-overview).
162
+ Emitting records to Amazon Kinesis via network causes I/O Wait, so parallelizing
163
+ emitting with threads will improve throughput.
164
+
165
+ This option can be used to parallelize writes into the output(s)
166
+ designated by the output plugin. The default is 1.
167
+ Also you can use this option with *detach_process*.
168
+
169
+ ### retries_on_putrecords
170
+
171
+ Integer, default is 3. When **order_events** is false, the plugin will put multiple
172
+ records to Amazon Kinesis in batches using PutRecords. A set of records in a batch
173
+ may fail for reasons documented in the Kinesis Service API Reference for PutRecords.
174
+ Failed records will be retried **retries_on_putrecords** times. If a record
175
+ fails all retries an error log will be emitted.
176
+
177
+ ### debug
178
+
179
+ Boolean. Enable if you need to debug Amazon Kinesis API call. Default is false.
180
+
181
+ ## Configuration examples
182
+
183
+ Here are some configuration examles.
184
+ Assume that the JSON object below is coming to with tag 'your_tag'.
185
+
186
+ {
187
+ "name":"foo",
188
+ "action":"bar"
189
+ }
190
+
191
+ ### Simply putting events to Amazon Kinesis with a partition key
192
+
193
+ In this example, simply a value 'foo' will be used as partition key,
194
+ then events will be sent to the stream specified in 'stream_name'.
195
+
196
+ <match your_tag>
197
+ type kinesis
198
+
199
+ stream_name YOUR_STREAM_NAME
200
+
201
+ aws_key_id YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY
202
+ aws_sec_key YOUR_SECRET_KEY
203
+
204
+ region us-east-1
205
+
206
+ partition_key name
207
+ </match>
208
+
209
+ ### Using partition_key_expr to add specific prefix to partition key
210
+
211
+ In this example, we add partition_key_expr to the example above.
212
+ This expression adds string 'some_prefix-' to partition key 'name',
213
+ then partition key finally will be 'some_prefix-foo'.
214
+
215
+ With specifying parition_key and parition_key_expr both,
216
+ the extracted value for partition key from JSON object will be
217
+ passed to your Ruby expression as a variable 'record'.
218
+
219
+ <match your_tag>
220
+ type kinesis
221
+
222
+ stream_name YOUR_STREAM_NAME
223
+
224
+ aws_key_id YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY
225
+ aws_sec_key YOUR_SECRET_KEY
226
+
227
+ region us-east-1
228
+
229
+ partition_key name
230
+ partition_key_expr 'some_prefix-' + record
231
+ </match>
232
+
233
+ ### Using partition_key_expr to extract a value for partition key
234
+
235
+ In this example, we use only partition_key_expr to extract
236
+ a value for partition key. It will be 'bar'.
237
+
238
+ Specifying partition_key_expr without partition_key,
239
+ hash object that is converted from whole JSON object will be
240
+ passed to your Ruby expression as a variable 'record'.
241
+
242
+ <match your_tag>
243
+ type kinesis
244
+
245
+ stream_name YOUR_STREAM_NAME
246
+
247
+ aws_key_id YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY
248
+ aws_sec_key YOUR_SECRET_KEY
249
+
250
+ region us-east-1
251
+
252
+ partition_key_expr record['action']
253
+ </match>
254
+
255
+ ### Improving throughput to Amazon Kinesis
256
+
257
+ The achievable throughput to Amazon Kinesis is limited to single-threaded
258
+ PutRecord calls if **order_events** is set to true. By setting **order_events**
259
+ to false records will be sent to Amazon Kinesis in batches. When operating in
260
+ this mode the plugin can also be configured to execute in parallel.
261
+ The **detach_process** and **num_threads** configuration settings control
262
+ parallelism.
263
+
264
+ Please note that **order_events** option will be ignored if you choose to
265
+ use either **detach_process** or **num_threads**.
266
+
267
+ In case of the configuration below, you will spawn 2 processes.
268
+
269
+ <match your_tag>
270
+ type kinesis
271
+
272
+ stream_name YOUR_STREAM_NAME
273
+ region us-east-1
274
+
275
+ detach_process 2
276
+
277
+ </match>
278
+
279
+ You can also specify a number of threads to put.
280
+ The number of threads is bound to each individual processes.
281
+ So in this case, you will spawn 1 process which has 50 threads.
282
+
283
+ <match your_tag>
284
+ type kinesis
285
+
286
+ stream_name YOUR_STREAM_NAME
287
+ region us-east-1
288
+
289
+ num_threads 50
290
+ </match>
291
+
292
+ Both options can be used together, in the configuration below,
293
+ you will spawn 2 processes and 50 threads per each processes.
294
+
295
+ <match your_tag>
296
+ type kinesis
297
+
298
+ stream_name YOUR_STREAM_NAME
299
+ region us-east-1
300
+
301
+ detach_process 2
302
+ num_threads 50
303
+ </match>
