Upgrade fluentd to 1.3.0, ability to deal with octet counting messages
In the fluentd 1.3.0 they added support for frame_type -> octet_count
https://www.fluentd.org/blog/fluentd-v1.3.0-has-been-released
We would like to make use of that feature while using stackdriver-tools.
P.S.: fluent-plugin-google-cloud dependecy of fluentd would also need updating.
Per our discovery, we are blocked until the fluent-plugin-google-cloud updates it's dependency on fluentd: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/fluent-plugin-google-cloud/issues/282
@mattysweeps looks like plugin has been updated to work with a more recent version of fluentd. Is there a way we could bump the priority of this? With the release of PCF 2.7 it might be a good excuse to bump the stemcell dependency too.
