decoding

Please note that the following [apache_avro::types::Value
] variants are currently not supported:

decoding.avro.strip_schema_id_prefix
required booldecoding.codec
optional string literal enumOption | Description |
---|---|
avro | Decodes the raw bytes as as an Apache Avro message. |
bytes | Uses the raw bytes as-is. |
gelf | Decodes the raw bytes as a GELF message. This codec is experimental for the following reason: The GELF specification is more strict than the actual Graylog receiver.
Vector’s decoder currently adheres more strictly to the GELF spec, with
the exception that some characters such as Other GELF codecs such as Loki’s, use a Go SDK that is maintained by Graylog, and is much more relaxed than the GELF spec. Going forward, Vector will use that Go SDK as the reference implementation, which means the codec may continue to relax the enforcement of specification. |
influxdb | Decodes the raw bytes as an Influxdb Line Protocol message. |
json | Decodes the raw bytes as JSON. |
native | Decodes the raw bytes as native Protocol Buffers format. This codec is experimental. |
native_json | Decodes the raw bytes as native JSON format. This codec is experimental. |
protobuf | Decodes the raw bytes as protobuf. |
syslog | Decodes the raw bytes as a Syslog message. Decodes either as the RFC 3164-style format (“old” style) or the RFC 5424-style format (“new” style, includes structured data). |
vrl | Decodes the raw bytes as a string and passes them as input to a VRL program. |

required objectcodec = "vrl"
decoding.vrl.source
required string literal.
target will be used as the decoding result.
Compilation error or use of ‘abort’ in a program will result in a decoding error.decoding.vrl.timezone
optional string literalThe name of the timezone to apply to timestamp conversions that do not contain an explicit
time zone. The time zone name may be any name in the TZ database, or local
to indicate system local time.
If not set, local
will be used.
framing
optional objectFraming configuration.
Framing handles how events are separated when encoded in a raw byte form, where each event is a frame that must be prefixed, or delimited, in a way that marks where an event begins and ends within the byte stream.
framing.character_delimited
required objectmethod = "character_delimited"
framing.character_delimited.delimiter
required ascii_charframing.character_delimited.max_length
optional uintThe maximum length of the byte buffer.
This length does not include the trailing delimiter.
By default, there is no maximum length enforced. If events are malformed, this can lead to additional resource usage as events continue to be buffered in memory, and can potentially lead to memory exhaustion in extreme cases.
If there is a risk of processing malformed data, such as logs with user-controlled input, consider setting the maximum length to a reasonably large value as a safety net. This ensures that processing is not actually unbounded.
framing.length_delimited
required objectmethod = "length_delimited"
framing.length_delimited.length_field_is_big_endian
optional booltrue
framing.length_delimited.length_field_length
optional uint4
framing.length_delimited.length_field_offset
optional uintframing.method
optional string literal enumOption | Description |
---|---|
bytes | Byte frames are passed through as-is according to the underlying I/O boundaries (for example, split between messages or stream segments). |
character_delimited | Byte frames which are delimited by a chosen character. |
length_delimited | Byte frames which are prefixed by an unsigned big-endian 32-bit integer indicating the length. |
newline_delimited | Byte frames which are delimited by a newline character. |
octet_counting | Byte frames according to the octet counting format. |

framing.newline_delimited
optional objectmethod = "newline_delimited"
framing.newline_delimited.max_length
optional uintThe maximum length of the byte buffer.
This length does not include the trailing delimiter.
By default, there is no maximum length enforced. If events are malformed, this can lead to additional resource usage as events continue to be buffered in memory, and can potentially lead to memory exhaustion in extreme cases.
If there is a risk of processing malformed data, such as logs with user-controlled input, consider setting the maximum length to a reasonably large value as a safety net. This ensures that processing is not actually unbounded.

required string literal enumlist
data type.Option | Description |
---|---|
lpop | Pop messages from the head of the list. |
rpop | Pop messages from the tail of the list. |
redis_key
optional string literalSets the name of the log field to use to add the key to each event.
The value is the Redis key that the event was read from.
By default, this is not set and the field is not automatically added.
url
required string literalThe Redis URL to connect to.
The URL must take the form of protocol://server:port/db
where the protocol
can either be redis
or rediss
for connections secured using TLS.

redis
source uses redis-rs
under the hood, which is a high level Redis library
for Rust. It provides convenient access to all Redis functionality through a very flexible but low-level
API.
