I'll try to get a v1.17.1 image built that you can test.

Impeccable timing, just ended up in the same place.

Are there any significant differences between image from fluent-operator and the 'official one', @joshuabaird?

I know there are in kubesphere one that supports hot reload but that one (1.17) does not work with multi worker option.

edit: quick glance and for example fluent/fluentd:v1.17.1-debian-1.0 is missing prometheus filter plugin altogether :/

[joshuabaird]

@penekk The only real difference is that the fluent-operator version of fluentd bundles fluent-watcher which implements the hot reload functionality that you described.

As you have noted, we also install several plugins out of the box -- including the Prom plugin.

We should have v1.17.1 images soon. It's just taking a bit longer because the CI/build process is being updated as well.

Roger that, thanks for a blazing fast response!

@penekk @marssilence v1.17.1 images for amd64/arm64 are now available if you would like to test:
