What this PR does / why we need it:
Currently fluent-plugin-grafana-loki can't be used with multiple buffer flush threads (
num_threads
orflush_thread_count
> 1) because logs with the same label sets are flushed in parallel, resulting inentry out of order for stream
errors in Loki.This PR changes
fluent-plugin-grafana-loki
to automatically add a 'fluentd_threadlog label when the fluentd loki output is configured with
flush_thread_count` > 1, which allows logs flushed in parallel to have unique label sets and avoid out-of-order errors.In our deployment (~300 fluentd agents forwarding to a single loki), using this change and setting
flush_thread_count
to 4 has allowed us to achieve sub-500ms log latecy times (measured with loki-canary). Previously we were seeing 32s latency, even when using multi-worker fluentd configs.Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
No issue currently, should I create one?
Special notes for your reviewer:
