Dynamic loading of .so

[sherwoodzern]

I watched your Kubecon presentation back in 2019. One area discussed was an enhancement request for the dynamic loading of the .so file. Has this been implemented?

I'm building an output plugin in Go and I would prefer not to have to build the fluent-bit container from scratch and add my Go plugin. Sooner or later the image is going to be huge.

If the dynamically loading the plugin has not been implemented, are there any gotchas when adding the plugin to the overall fluent-bit image? Do you have any samples of building the original image and adding the Go plugin?

if you build the plugin in Go the expectation is that you generate a final .so that can be loaded on runtime, examples here:
