cloudWatch.enabled	Whether this plugin should be enabled or not details	true	✔
cloudWatch.match	The log filter	*	✔
cloudWatch.region	The AWS region for CloudWatch.	us-east-1	✔
cloudWatch.logGroupName	The name of the CloudWatch Log Group that you want log records sent to.	"/aws/eks/fluentbit-cloudwatch/logs"	✔
cloudWatch.logStreamName	The name of the CloudWatch Log Stream that you want log records sent to.
cloudWatch.logStreamPrefix	Prefix for the Log Stream name. The tag is appended to the prefix to construct the full log stream name. Not compatible with the log_stream_name option.	"fluentbit-"
cloudWatch.logKey	By default, the whole log record will be sent to CloudWatch. If you specify a key name with this option, then only the value of that key will be sent to CloudWatch. For example, if you are using the Fluentd Docker log driver, you can specify logKey log and only the log message will be sent to CloudWatch.
cloudWatch.logRetentionDays	If set to a number greater than zero, and newly create log group's retention policy is set to this many days.
cloudWatch.logFormat	An optional parameter that can be used to tell CloudWatch the format of the data. A value of json/emf enables CloudWatch to extract custom metrics embedded in a JSON payload. See the Embedded Metric Format.
cloudWatch.roleArn	ARN of an IAM role to assume (for cross account access).
cloudWatch.autoCreateGroup	Automatically create the log group. Valid values are "true" or "false" (case insensitive).	true
cloudWatch.endpoint	Specify a custom endpoint for the CloudWatch Logs API.
cloudWatch.credentialsEndpoint	Specify a custom HTTP endpoint to pull credentials from. more info
cloudWatch.extraOutputs	Append extra outputs with value	""
firehose.enabled	Whether this plugin should be enabled or not, details	true	✔
firehose.match	The log filter	"*"	✔
firehose.region	The region which your Firehose delivery stream(s) is/are in.	"us-east-1"	✔
firehose.deliveryStream	The name of the delivery stream that you want log records sent to.	"my-stream"	✔
firehose.dataKeys	By default, the whole log record will be sent to Kinesis. If you specify a key name(s) with this option, then only those keys and values will be sent to Kinesis. For example, if you are using the Fluentd Docker log driver, you can specify data_keys log and only the log message will be sent to Kinesis. If you specify multiple keys, they should be comma delimited.
firehose.roleArn	ARN of an IAM role to assume (for cross account access).
firehose.endpoint	Specify a custom endpoint for the Kinesis Firehose API.
firehose.timeKey	Add the timestamp to the record under this key. By default the timestamp from Fluent Bit will not be added to records sent to Kinesis.
firehose.timeKeyFormat	strftime compliant format string for the timestamp; for example, %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z. This option is used with time_key.
firehose.extraOutputs	Append extra outputs with value	""
kinesis.enabled	Whether this plugin should be enabled or not, details	true	✔
kinesis.match	The log filter	"*"	✔
kinesis.region	The region which your Kinesis Data Stream is in.	"us-east-1"	✔
kinesis.stream	The name of the Kinesis Data Stream that you want log records sent to.	"my-kinesis-stream-name"	✔
kinesis.partitionKey	A partition key is used to group data by shard within a stream. A Kinesis Data Stream uses the partition key that is associated with each data record to determine which shard a given data record belongs to. For example, if your logs come from Docker containers, you can use container_id as the partition key, and the logs will be grouped and stored on different shards depending upon the id of the container they were generated from. As the data within a shard are coarsely ordered, you will get all your logs from one container in one shard roughly in order. If you don't set a partition key or put an invalid one, a random key will be generated, and the logs will be directed to random shards. If the partition key is invalid, the plugin will print an warning message.	"container_id"
kinesis.appendNewline	If you set append_newline as true, a newline will be addded after each log record.
kinesis.replaceDots	Replace dot characters in key names with the value of this option.
kinesis.dataKeys	By default, the whole log record will be sent to Kinesis. If you specify key name(s) with this option, then only those keys and values will be sent to Kinesis. For example, if you are using the Fluentd Docker log driver, you can specify data_keys log and only the log message will be sent to Kinesis. If you specify multiple keys, they should be comma delimited.
kinesis.roleArn	ARN of an IAM role to assume (for cross account access).
kinesis.endpoint	Specify a custom endpoint for the Kinesis Streams API.
kinesis.stsEndpoint	Specify a custom endpoint for the STS API; used to assume your custom role provided with kinesis.roleArn.
kinesis.timeKey	Add the timestamp to the record under this key. By default the timestamp from Fluent Bit will not be added to records sent to Kinesis.
kinesis.timeKeyFormat	strftime compliant format string for the timestamp; for example, %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z. This option is used with time_key.
kinesis.aggregation	Setting aggregation to true will enable KPL aggregation of records sent to Kinesis. This feature isn't compatible with the partitionKey feature. See more about KPL aggregation here.
kinesis.compression	Setting compression to zlib will enable zlib compression of each record. By default this feature is disabled and records are not compressed.
kinesis.extraOutputs	Append extra outputs with value	""
elasticsearch.enabled	Whether this plugin should be enabled or not, details	true	✔
elasticsearch.match	The log filter	"*"	✔
elasticsearch.awsRegion	The region which your Firehose delivery stream(s) is/are in.	"us-east-1"	✔
elasticsearch.host	The url of the Elastic Search endpoint you want log records sent to.		✔
elasticsearch.awsAuth	Enable AWS Sigv4 Authentication for Amazon ElasticSearch Service	On
elasticsearch.tls	Enable or disable TLS support	On
elasticsearch.port	TCP Port of the target service.	443
