fluentd: read if a new file is created

Question

Can fluentd read from the file if a new file is created?

I have a directory /path/to/somewhere/. If a new file is created in the directory, I would like to read data from the file with fluentd.

I can not find the input plugin that do this in this page.

Answer 1

You can use path /path/to/somewhere/* in in_tail plugin.

Then fluentd is able to detect new files in the directory.
