HTTP Log

Release date 2024/09/11

Bugfix

• Fix an issue where the plugin doesn’t include port information in the HTTP host header when sending requests to the log server.

Release date 2023/05/19

Feature

• Added the application/json; charset=utf-8 option for the Content-Type header to support log collectors that require that character set declaration.#10533

Breaking Change

• If the log server responds with a 3xx HTTP status code, the plugin now considers it to be an error and retries according to the retry configuration. Previously, 3xx status codes would be interpreted as a success, causing the log entries to be dropped.#10172

• Plugin batch queuing: HTTP Log, StatsD, OpenTelemetry, and Datadog

  The queuing system has been reworked, causing some plugin parameters to not function as expected anymore. If you use queues in these plugins, new parameters must be configured. See each plugin’s documentation for details.
