Caution Review failedAn error occurred during the review process. Please try again later. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe file output documentation adds ChangesFile output strftime support
Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The documentation adds strftime-based file destination guidance, but it still needs corrections for literal-percent escaping, validation of strftime-only paths, and examples that do not show the required fallback-routing action when dynamic file limits are reached. These gaps can mislead users into configurations that fail validation or do not route records as documented, so merge should wait for correction or explicit owner acceptance.

the fluent-bit.yaml and fluent-bit.conf time-based destination examples by
setting on_limit_reached to fallback, preserving the existing fallback_path and
fallback_file configuration.

- Around line 204-206: Update the enable_strftime documentation to state that
literal percent characters in path or file must be escaped as %% when expansion
is enabled, and clarify that any percent-containing destination requires
fallback_file, including destinations containing only %%.
- Line 214: Apply the same static-prefix validation enforced by
validate_dynamic_path() to paths using strftime when enable_strftime is true,
rejecting placeholder-only paths such as %Y/%m/%d; otherwise narrow the
documentation rule so it only claims this requirement for record-accessor paths.

Document the strftime placeholder support added to the file output
plugin in v5.1.1 (fluent-bit 239681499).
- Add enable_strftime to the configuration parameters table
- Note strftime expansion in the path, file, fallback_file, and
max_dynamic_files descriptions
- List '%' alongside '$' as a dynamic destination trigger, and note
that fallback_file is required for placeholders as well
- Add a "strftime placeholders" section covering UTC event timestamp
formatting, the literal-'%' rationale for the disabled default,
expansion order when combined with record accessors, and the
max_dynamic_files cardinality warning
- State that dynamic destinations apply to log records only, with
metrics always going to the fallback destination
- Add a time-based destination example in YAML and classic formats
- Enable_strftime with a strftime path marks the destination dynamic, so
max_dynamic_files applies and on_limit_reached defaults to error. Without
it the example contradicted its own prose about unresolvable destinations
falling back to unrouted.log.
- Document that literal percent characters must be escaped as %% when
enable_strftime is true, and that fallback_file is required for any
path or file containing a percent, including values made up only of
escaped %% sequences.
- Correct the static prefix rule, which the plugin enforces for record
accessors only. A path may begin with a strftime placeholder, so note
that a value such as %Y/%m/%d resolves relative to the Fluent Bit
working directory and recommend a static prefix.
