out_stackdriver: read large error responses instead of retrying - #12549
cestercian wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
The write path capped the HTTP response buffer at 4192 bytes. A Cloud Logging HTTP 400 whose body lists the failing entries is often larger than that, so flb_http_do() failed with "cannot increase buffer" and the plugin returned FLB_RETRY. The 400 was never parsed, valid entries were sent again, and partialSuccess produced duplicates. Use a buffer_size option (default 512k, false/0 unlimited), matching out_es, out_opensearch, and out_loki. A 4xx body now reaches the existing status handling and is dropped instead of retried.

- Around line 1366-1368: Update the buffer_size validation in the initialization
flow so the `(size_t)-1` invalid-size sentinel fails initialization instead of
being converted to unlimited; preserve explicit `false` or `0` as unlimited.
- Line 3116: Handle the return from flb_http_buffer_size() in the Stackdriver
initialization flow, or validate the configured buffer_size before calling it,
so a nonzero size the HTTP client cannot apply causes initialization to fail
rather than silently retaining the default limit.

An unparsable buffer_size was turned into 0, which means unlimited, so a typo removed the response cap entirely. A nonzero size below the HTTP client minimum was also silently ignored because the return value of flb_http_buffer_size() was never checked. Fail init for both cases, keep 'false' or 0 as unlimited, and check the flb_http_buffer_size() return in flush. Add runtime tests for an invalid and a too small buffer_size.

Thanks for the catch. Pushed a fix: an invalid buffer_size now fails init instead of quietly turning into unlimited, and sizes below the http client minimum (4096) get rejected too, so they can't be silently ignored. Also checking the flb_http_buffer_size() return in flush now. Added two runtime tests for the invalid and too small cases. false/0 still mean unlimited. |

6785-6826: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd an oversized HTTP-error regression test.
The new tests only check that invalid
buffer_sizevalues fail initialization. The existing integration handlers return200for loggingPOSTrequests. The503response intest_workers.pyapplies only to token refresh. No test sends a400response larger than 4192 bytes or counts logging requests to prove that the chunk is not retried. Reverting the buffer application to the old cap would therefore leave these tests passing.Add an integration fixture that returns an oversized
400body from/v2/entries:write, then assert that the response reaches Stackdriver status handling and that the same chunk produces only one logging request.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Thanks! I looked at adding that one, but the stackdriver runtime tests don't spin up any HTTP endpoint right now. Covering it properly would mean mocking both the token endpoint and entries:write, which feels out of scope for this fix. Happy to do it as a follow-up if maintainers want it. |

Circling back on this one in case it got buried, no rush. |
out_stackdriverread the WriteLogEntries response into a fixed 4192-byte buffer. When Cloud Logging rejects a request with a 400, the error body lists the bad entries and is usually way bigger than that, so the HTTP client hitcannot increase buffer,flb_http_do()returned -1 and the plugin treated it as a transport error. The 400 never got logged or parsed, the chunk was retried untilRetry_Limit, and withpartialSuccess: truethe good entries got written again on every retry.Added a
buffer_sizeoption likeout_es/out_opensearch/out_loki: a size option, default512k, andfalseor0for unlimited. That default is enough for a ~40 KB error body.gce_metadata.cstill usesFLB_STD_METADATA_TOKEN_SIZE_MAX(those responses are short and came back HTTP 200 in the repro). Service-account token exchange goes throughflb_oauth2in core and is unchanged.Local repro (metadata server + TLS logging server returning HTTP 400 with a 41208-byte partial-success JSON body, no real GCP credentials):
Before (4192 cap): 6 posts of the same chunk,
cannot increase buffer/http_do=-1/failed to flush chunk ... retry.After (default 512k): 1 post, HTTP Status=400 with the error JSON, no retry. Valgrind clean on that path.
