# Input Sources
|
||
|
||
Sources produce `core.LogEntry` values for a pipeline. Every source is declared
|
||
as a `[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]` entry with an `id`, a `type`, and a
|
||
type-specific `config` table.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "app_logs"
|
||
type = "file"
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config]
|
||
directory = "/var/log/myapp"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Registered types: `file`, `console`, `random`, `null`, `tcp_chain`,
|
||
`http_chain`.
|
||
|
||
Publication from any source is non-blocking. When a subscriber channel is full
|
||
the entry is dropped and counted in `dropped_entries`.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## file
|
||
|
||
Tails every file in a directory whose name matches a glob.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "app_logs"
|
||
type = "file"
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config]
|
||
directory = "/var/log/myapp"
|
||
pattern = "*.log"
|
||
check_interval_ms = 100
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `directory` | string | **required** | Directory to scan; not recursive |
|
||
| `pattern` | string | `*` | Glob over filenames; `*` and `?` only |
|
||
| `check_interval_ms` | int | `100` | Directory rescan interval; minimum `10` |
|
||
|
||
**Behaviour**
|
||
|
||
- `check_interval_ms` governs how often the directory is rescanned for new or
|
||
removed files. Tailing an already-open file polls on a **fixed 100 ms**
|
||
interval that this option does not change.
|
||
- Each matched file gets its own watcher. Watchers for files that disappear are
|
||
stopped and removed on the next scan.
|
||
- A new watcher seeks to end-of-file. Positions live in memory only, so a
|
||
restart resumes from the current end of each file and content written while
|
||
LogWisp was down is not read.
|
||
- Rotation is detected from size decrease, modification-time reset, a position
|
||
beyond end-of-file, or an inode change. An inode change where the new file is
|
||
already larger than the recorded position is treated as an atomic save, not a
|
||
rotation, and the position is preserved.
|
||
- Lines are parsed as JSON when they contain `time`, `level`, `msg`, and
|
||
`fields` keys; `time` is read as RFC3339Nano. Anything else is kept as plain
|
||
text with the level inferred from common markers (`[ERROR]`, `WARN:`, and so
|
||
on).
|
||
- `Source` is set to the file's base name.
|
||
|
||
**Statistics**: per-watcher size, position, entries read, rotation count, and
|
||
last read time, plus `active_watchers`.
|
||

|
||
|
||
## console
|
||
|
||
Reads newline-delimited entries from standard input.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "stdin"
|
||
type = "console"
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config]
|
||
buffer_size = 1000
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `buffer_size` | int | `1000` | Subscriber channel depth |
|
||
|
||
At most **one** instance per pipeline: the type is registered with
|
||
`MaxInstances: 1`, and a second instance is rejected at pipeline construction.
|
||
The level is inferred from the line text, and `Source` is set to `console`.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## random
|
||
|
||
Synthetic entry generator for development, smoke tests, and sanitizer testing.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "generator"
|
||
type = "random"
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config]
|
||
interval_ms = 500
|
||
jitter_ms = 0
|
||
format = "txt"
|
||
length = 20
|
||
special = false
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `interval_ms` | int | `500` | Emission period |
|
||
| `jitter_ms` | int | `0` | Symmetric jitter; clamped to `interval_ms`, must be non-negative |
|
||
| `format` | string | `txt` | `raw` (message only), `txt` (bracketed line), `json` (JSON object as the message) |
|
||
| `length` | int | `20` | Message length in characters |
|
||
| `special` | bool | `false` | Inject control and non-ASCII characters |
|
||
|
||
`special = true` is the intended way to exercise sanitizer policies: it inserts
|
||
control bytes and multi-byte Unicode into otherwise ordinary messages. Levels
|
||
are chosen at random from DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## null
|
||
|
||
Produces nothing. Useful as a placeholder so a sink-only pipeline satisfies the
|
||
"at least one source" requirement.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "void"
|
||
type = "null"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
No options.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## tcp_chain
|
||
|
||
Listens for persistent NDJSON streams from upstream LogWisp `tcp_chain` sinks.
|
||
See [Chaining](chaining.md) for the protocol.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "ingest_tcp"
|
||
type = "tcp_chain"
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config]
|
||
host = "0.0.0.0"
|
||
port = 15801
|
||
buffer_size = 1000
|
||
max_connections = 0
|
||
read_timeout_ms = 0
|
||
hello_timeout_ms = 10000
|
||
trust_node = true
|
||
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config.tls]
|
||
enabled = true
|
||
cert_file = "/etc/logwisp/tls/server.crt"
|
||
key_file = "/etc/logwisp/tls/server.key"
|
||
client_auth = true
|
||
client_ca_file = "/etc/logwisp/tls/client-ca.crt"
|
||
min_version = "1.3"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `host` | string | `0.0.0.0` | Bind address; IPv4 only |
|
||
| `port` | int | **required** | Listen port, 1–65535 |
|
||
| `buffer_size` | int | `1000` | Subscriber channel depth |
|
||
| `max_connections` | int | `0` | Concurrent connection cap; `0` = unlimited |
|
||
| `read_timeout_ms` | int | `0` | Per-connection idle read deadline; `0` = none |
|
||
| `hello_timeout_ms` | int | `10000` | Deadline for the hello preamble |
|
||
| `trust_node` | bool | `true` | `false` overrides the sender's node label with its remote address |
|
||
| `tls` | table | — | Listener TLS; see [Security](security.md) |
|
||
|
||
**Behaviour**
|
||
|
||
- TLS handshakes run explicitly with a 10 s bound before the preamble is read,
|
||
after the `max_connections` admission check.
|
||
- A connection is rejected if the first line is not a valid hello with a
|
||
matching protocol version.
|
||
- Each accepted connection gets a session recording the remote address, node
|
||
label, and — under TLS — `tls` and `tls_peer_cn`.
|
||
- A malformed entry line increments `parse_errors` and is skipped; the
|
||
connection survives. A line over 1 MiB is a protocol violation and terminates
|
||
the connection.
|
||
|
||
**Statistics**: `active_connections`, `rejected_conns`, `parse_errors`,
|
||
`tls_handshake_errors`, `trust_node`.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## http_chain
|
||
|
||
Accepts NDJSON batches POSTed by upstream LogWisp `http_chain` sinks.
|
||
|
||
```toml
|
||
[[pipelines.plugin_sources]]
|
||
id = "ingest_http"
|
||
type = "http_chain"
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config]
|
||
host = "0.0.0.0"
|
||
port = 15802
|
||
ingest_path = "/ingest"
|
||
buffer_size = 1000
|
||
max_body_bytes = 8388608
|
||
read_timeout_ms = 30000
|
||
trust_node = true
|
||
|
||
[pipelines.plugin_sources.config.tls]
|
||
enabled = true
|
||
cert_file = "/etc/logwisp/tls/server.crt"
|
||
key_file = "/etc/logwisp/tls/server.key"
|
||
client_auth = true
|
||
client_ca_file = "/etc/logwisp/tls/client-ca.crt"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|
||
|--------|------|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `host` | string | `0.0.0.0` | Bind address; IPv4 only |
|
||
| `port` | int | **required** | Listen port |
|
||
| `ingest_path` | string | `/ingest` | Endpoint path; must start with `/` |
|
||
| `buffer_size` | int | `1000` | Subscriber channel depth |
|
||
| `max_body_bytes` | int | `8388608` | Per-request body cap (8 MiB) |
|
||
| `read_timeout_ms` | int | `30000` | Full request read deadline |
|
||
| `trust_node` | bool | `true` | `false` overrides the sender's node label with its remote address |
|
||
| `tls` | table | — | Listener TLS |
|
||
|
||
**Behaviour**
|
||
|
||
- Only `POST` to `ingest_path` is routed; other methods get `405` with an
|
||
`Allow` header, and other paths get `404`.
|
||
- A missing or mismatched `X-Logwisp-Protocol` header is rejected with `400`.
|
||
- Batch acceptance is atomic: entries are published only after the body reads
|
||
cleanly end to end. A transfer error rejects the whole batch (`400`, or `413`
|
||
when the body cap is hit) so the sender retries it. A malformed *line* inside
|
||
an otherwise clean transfer is skipped and counted in `parse_errors`.
|
||
- Success is `204 No Content` with `X-Logwisp-Accepted` set to the number of
|
||
entries ingested.
|
||
- Sessions are cached per remote host + declared node and recreated after idle
|
||
expiry.
|
||
|
||
**Statistics**: `total_requests`, `rejected_requests`, `parse_errors`,
|
||
`cached_sessions`, `trust_node`.

## Source Statistics
|
||
|
||
Every source reports: `id`, `type`, `total_entries`, `dropped_entries`,
|
||
`start_time`, `last_entry_time`, and a type-specific `details` map. These appear
|
||
in the status reporter output and in the `http` sink's status endpoint.
