# Reader Input Plugin
|
|
|
|
The Reader Plugin updates a list of files every interval and parses the data inside.
|
|
Files will always be read from the beginning.
|
|
This plugin can parse any "data_format" formats.
|
|
|
|
### Configuration:
|
|
```toml
|
|
[[inputs.reader]]
|
|
## Files to parse each interval.
|
|
## These accept standard unix glob matching rules, but with the addition of
|
|
## ** as a "super asterisk". ie:
|
|
## /var/log/**.log -> recursively find all .log files in /var/log
|
|
## /var/log/*/*.log -> find all .log files with a parent dir in /var/log
|
|
## /var/log/apache.log -> only tail the apache log file
|
|
files = ["/var/log/apache/access.log"]
|
|
|
|
## The dataformat to be read from files
|
|
## Each data format has its own unique set of configuration options, read
|
|

data_format = ""
