NAME
Fluent::LibFluentBit::Component - Base class for handle-based objects
VERSION
version 0.03
DESCRIPTION
This is a base class for the sub-objects of the FluentBit library, such as input, output, and filters. Each one is referenced by an integer rather than a pointer, and needs paired with a fluent-bit context.
ATTRIBUTES
context
Weak-reference to Fluent::LibFluentBit instance
id
An integer referring to this object within the fluent-bit context.
name
The plugin name, which is more like a "type" of the object.
METHODS
new
The constructor requires 'id' and 'context' and 'name', and creates the related library object, then passes any other attributes to the "configure" method.
configure
$obj->configure(key1 => $value1, key2 => $value2, ...)The fluent-bit API assigns attributes by name and value (all strings, as if they came from the config file) The attributes are written to the library, and also written to the hashref of this object for later inspection (because the library doesn't have getter functions). The fluent-bit attribute names are case-insensitive, so this method flattens them to lowercase before storing them in the Perl object. Invalid attributes generate warnings, not errors.
