📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Azure Logs Ingestion output plugin adds optional deferred batching. It validates batch settings, combines event chunks, sends them with size and timeout controls, records payload metrics, handles shutdown and reload states, and adds integration coverage.

When a normal shutdown drain makes one unsuccessful request, drain_attempted is set and every subsequent flush returns FLB_RETRY here without making another request. In-memory chunks therefore cannot recover from a transient failure before grace expires, and with grace -1 the service can remain alive indefinitely while repeatedly scheduling retries that this guard prevents from sending. Allow shutdown retries to perform another drain attempt.

When az_li_send_payload() returns FLB_ERROR, such as when the concatenated MessagePack cannot be decoded, this wrapper converts it to FLB_RETRY. Unlike the non-batched path, a permanently malformed chunk then retries indefinitely and can repeatedly poison valid chunks grouped with it; return the original status so permanent failures follow the drop path.

If the event loop is busy or blocked and these 100 ms timer callbacks run late, adding only the requested timer delay substantially undercounts real elapsed time. An underfilled batch configured with a three-second maximum can consequently remain queued far longer than three seconds; record a monotonic deadline when the batch is created and calculate the remaining delay from current time.

Measure the timeout with a monotonic deadline.
waited_ms counts requested timer delays instead of actual elapsed time. If the scheduler runs a 100 ms callback one second late, this code adds only 100 ms and schedules more polling cycles. A batch can remain pending well after batch_timeout.
Store a monotonic start time or deadline when the batch is created. At each wakeup, compare the current monotonic time with that deadline.

Consider adding a constant for the Ingestion API's payload limit
2 participants
Summary
Add opt-in, fixed-count batching of complete Fluent Bit engine chunks to
out_azure_logs_ingestion.Each participating output callback remains pending while the plugin borrows its engine-owned chunk. When the configured count or timeout is reached, one callback concatenates the still-owned MessagePack chunks, formats and compresses the combined payload, and sends one Azure request. Every member then returns the same result.
This is deliberately stacked on the request payload metrics in #12392 and supersedes the plugin-owned SQLite design in #12374.
Batching-only diff
GitHub cannot use a fork branch as the base of a PR targeting
fluent/fluent-bit. Until #12392 merges, review the one-commit batching comparison:azure-logs-ingestion-request-metrics...nourdouf/azure-logs-ingestion-deferred-batching
The batching commit is
30be62929; its parent is the current #12392 head (07de56883). After #12392 merges, this branch will be rebased ontomaster.Scope
The final diff is plugin-only:
plugins/out_azure_logs_ingestionplus its integration scenario. It does not modify Fluent Bit core, routing, storage, scheduler, reload, or native-plugin APIs.The implementation combines the strongest parts of two independent prototypes:
No per-chunk payload copy is retained by the plugin. A transient combined buffer exists only while an actual request is being built and sent.
Delivery contract
FLB_OKuntil Azure responds with 2xx.FLB_RETRYto every member.Delivery remains at-least-once. Azure acceptance followed by a lost response can produce duplicates.
Timeout and lifecycle behavior
CLOCK_MONOTONICon POSIX andQueryPerformanceCounteron Windows.Production assumptions match the supported path: Linux, Azure output
workers=0, default thread-safe hot reload, filesystem engine storage, and pre-reload dry-run validation in deployment tooling.macOS library stop cancels the engine worker before it can prove lifecycle drain; Linux-only lifecycle tests remain skipped there rather than adding unrelated core changes to this PR.
Metrics compatibility
The #12392 histograms continue to represent actual HTTP attempts:
fluentbit_azure_logs_ingestion_uncompressed_payload_size_bytesfluentbit_azure_logs_ingestion_http_payload_size_bytesA batched attempt records the combined formatted JSON size and compressed request size once. Retries record another observation. A batch rejected before HTTP creation is not counted as an HTTP attempt.
batch_chunk_count 1preserves the legacy path.Configuration
Batching is disabled by default:
Batched mode requires:
batch_chunk_countfrom 2 through 8;batch_timeout, shorter than finiteGrace;workers 0; andExisting network timeout defaults are unchanged. Filesystem engine storage is required for restart durability.
Validation
Linux
A native
linux/arm64Docker build of the final commit passed. The complete Azure Logs Ingestion integration scenario passed:Strict Valgrind results:
flb_output_flush_create()coroutine allocations in Fluent Bit core when retry callbacks remain intentionally pending during shutdown; their stacks do not enter the batching plugin. This PR does not change core lifecycle ownership.macOS
Real Azure DCR
The exact final Linux binary was exercised against the development DCR through an Azure CLI authentication forwarding shim:
deferred-batch-a96402f7bf0542b4b9659d5a003a568f;normal,hot-reload-before,hot-reload-after, andrestart.The forwarding shim validates the real DCR, compressed payload, lifecycle, and Log Analytics paths. It substitutes an Azure CLI bearer token because the available development service principal is intentionally secretless/OIDC-only; the plugin's client-secret OAuth implementation remains unchanged from #12392.
Known limitation
V1 does not split an oversized combined batch. A compressed payload over 1,048,576 bytes returns
FLB_RETRYto every member before HTTP. If the same chunks are regrouped together, this can cause retry churn or exhaust a finite engine retry budget. The canary must monitor oversize warnings, retries, and filesystem backlog; deterministic splitting is follow-up work if production distributions require it.Rollout
Start with a narrow supervised canary using
batch_chunk_count 3,batch_timeout 3s,workers 0, and filesystem storage. Monitor:Widen only after request-size headroom and delivery behavior are stable.
