Problem

FTS (Fluent Typed Scripting) is in master, but adopting it required reading
the implementation. There was no runnable example per signal, no guidance on
choosing it over the Lua filter, and no statement of which builds include it.

Scope

Documentation, examples and one integration test. No runtime code, API or
behavior changes.

  • plugins/processor_fts/README.md: what "typed" means (telemetry value
    types are kept; Lua is not statically typed), a one-command quickstart,
    availability (master only, not in v5.1.5 or the 5.1 branch, build
    options), native LuaJIT vs. experimental browser WASM (Lua 5.4, no jit),
    FTS vs. the Lua filter, error_mode and per-item rollback, redaction
    limits, sandbox (not a security boundary) and diagnostics metric names.
  • examples/fts/: quickstart plus logs (redaction and enrichment), metrics
    (unit normalization and cardinality reduction) and traces (attribute
    transformation and selective span drop). Each has config, policy, input,
    run command and expected output; run.sh runs one and diffs the output.
  • tests/integration/.../test_fts_examples.py: runs the examples unchanged
    and compares their output exactly.
  • Discovery links from README.md and documentation/wasm-browser.md.

Every documented behavior was checked against the code and with probe
configurations. The Lua filter comparison uses a measured run: on
{"big": 18446744073709551615, "id": 9007199254740993, "n": null}, the Lua
filter outputs -9223372036854775808, 9007199254740992 and drops n; FTS
keeps all three.

Test evidence

Linux, current master build:

tests/integration/.venv/bin/python -m pytest \
  tests/integration/scenarios/processor_fts/tests/test_fts_examples.py -q
4 passed

VALGRIND=1 VALGRIND_STRICT=1 tests/integration/.venv/bin/python -m pytest \
  tests/integration/scenarios/processor_fts/tests/test_fts_examples.py -q
4 passed; every run: ERROR SUMMARY 0 errors, 0 bytes in use at exit

tests/integration/.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/integration/scenarios/processor_fts -q
748 passed, 146 skipped

ctest --test-dir build -R 'flb-it-fts$'
100% tests passed

Not run: Windows/macOS, and the browser WASM build (that section is based on
the code and the existing WASM docs).

Compatibility

None: no runtime changes.

Issues found, not addressed here

  1. Relative script paths are resolved from the working directory; the Lua
    filter falls back to the configuration file directory. Now documented.
  2. stdout with format: otlp_json prints only the message/log key of a
    map body and omits the rest, which hides redaction results. Not FTS; the
    examples use a msg key.
  3. In items with OpenTelemetry context, a uint64 above 2^63 - 1 fails the
    policy (OTLP has no unsigned type). Now documented.
  4. Metric families can be printed in a different order than sent, because
    cmetrics groups them by type. Not FTS; noted in the examples.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Expanded Fluent Typed Scripting (FTS) guidance, including setup, supported telemetry signals, configuration, typed data handling, errors, and runtime limitations.
    • Added a quickstart and runnable examples for log redaction, metric normalization, and trace filtering, with sample inputs and expected outputs.
    • Clarified browser and native Lua runtime differences, including that FTS is on the master branch and not yet included in a release.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @examples/fts/logs-redaction/policy.lua:
- Line 13: Update the text redaction rule so bearer credentials, including the
credential value after the space, are fully removed or replaced; handle
bearer-form tokens before the generic token rule, and drop messages that cannot
be scrubbed safely.
- Line 42: Update the SEVERITIES lookup used before fb.set_severity to normalize
level names and recognize all severity names and aliases supported by
fb.set_severity, including values such as INFO and warning.
- Line 41: Update the level handling around log.body:get_string("level") to
inspect the value’s type before reading it as a string. Ignore non-string
levels, and only set severity when the string value exists in SEVERITIES.

Review comments at @examples/fts/metrics-normalization/policy.lua:
- Line 27: Update the aggregation flow around fb.aggregate_metric in the policy
to avoid producing multiple attribute-less points when request points contain
only client.id and have different timestamps; skip aggregation in that case or
preserve enough attributes to distinguish the points.
- Around line 16-19: Update the metric normalization logic around
`fb.scale_metric` to skip both scaling and the associated unit rename for
exponential histograms with `ms` or `KiBy` units. Document that exponential
histograms remain unnormalized.

Review comments at @examples/fts/quickstart/README.md:
- Around line 6-8: Update the quickstart shell instructions in the README to
change into examples/fts/quickstart before running the Fluent Bit command, so
both the relative binary path and fluent-bit.yaml resolve when starting from the
repository root.

Review comments at @examples/fts/README.md:
- Around line 73-74: Update the curl example in the README so its input path
resolves when run from the repository root: use the path to the example input
relative to the root, or instruct users to change into the example directory in
the second terminal before running curl.

Review comments at @examples/fts/run.sh:
- Line 18: Update the fluent_bit path selection in run.sh to resolve paths
supplied via the second argument or FLUENT_BIT_BINARY relative to the caller’s
current directory before the subshell changes directories; preserve the existing
default path behavior.

Review comments at @examples/fts/traces-filtering/policy.lua:
- Around line 33-36: Update the query-removal policy near the `http.target`
handling to remove `url.query` independently, including when `http.target` is
absent, and add a fixture case covering a stable HTTP span with `url.query` set.
- Line 27: Update the attribute-renaming logic around attrs:set so it preserves
an existing stable attribute at rename[2] when both old and stable HTTP
attributes are present, and removes the old attribute without overwriting the
stable value. Keep the rename behavior when no stable attribute exists.

Review comments at @examples/fts/traces-filtering/README.md:
- Line 45: Update the topology claim in the policy.lua documentation to say that
leaf-span and single-span drops apply only to the supplied input; avoid implying
matching parent spans in other traces are checked for children.
- Line 49: Update the typed-value guidance near the `:number()` note to remove
the suggestion that typed values can be compared; clarify that they should be
copied as typed values instead.

Review comments at @plugins/processor_fts/README.md:
- Around line 498-503: Update the policy-error diagnostics description and
example in the README to state that Lua error text is available for callback
failures, while output-limit or telemetry-validation failures use the diagnostic
“invalid telemetry fields or output limit” and log output-construction failures
use “cannot construct policy output; edits discarded.”

Walkthrough

The pull request expands Fluent Typed Scripting (FTS) documentation, adds runnable Lua policy examples for logs, metrics, and traces, and adds integration tests that compare example output with expected fixtures.

Changes: Fluent Typed Scripting

Layer / File(s) Summary
FTS reference and runtime behavior
README.md, documentation/wasm-browser.md, plugins/processor_fts/README.md
The documentation describes FTS availability, typed telemetry values, runtime behavior, callback results, signal-specific helpers, redaction limits, and browser-WASM restrictions.
Example setup and execution
examples/fts/README.md, examples/fts/quickstart/*, examples/fts/run.sh, tests/integration/scenarios/processor_fts/tests/test_fts_examples.py
The examples guide and quickstart describe running an inline policy. The runner detects the input signal, starts Fluent Bit, submits input, and compares output with a fixture. Integration tests cover the quickstart and OTLP examples for all three signals.
Log redaction policy
examples/fts/logs-redaction/*
The policy drops /healthz logs, redacts selected body keys, scrubs message text, transforms email and severity fields, and adds attributes. Input and expected-output fixtures show the transformations.
Metric normalization policy
examples/fts/metrics-normalization/*
The policy drops debug metrics, scales units, renames a metric, and aggregates request metrics. Fixtures show the input and normalized metrics.
Trace filtering policy
examples/fts/traces-filtering/*
The policy filters selected spans, renames HTTP attributes, removes query strings and an end-user attribute, and redacts event authorization values. Fixtures show the input and retained spans.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 2213a

This change only adds FTS documentation and runnable examples, so there is no direct production impact. Several example policies have gaps users could copy: incomplete credential redaction, possible metric data loss, and dropped records. Some instructions and notes are also inaccurate. Fix these before relying on the examples as reference material.

P2 Badge Resolve relative binary paths before changing directories

When a caller supplies a relative binary path through the second argument or FLUENT_BIT_BINARY, the helper resolves it from the example directory rather than the caller's working directory. For example, examples/fts/run.sh examples/fts/logs-redaction ./build/bin/fluent-bit cannot launch an existing repository build because exec looks for examples/fts/logs-redaction/build/bin/fluent-bit. Resolve paths containing a directory component before entering the subshell, while preserving support for executable names found through PATH.

Redact the complete bearer credential.

For msg = "token=Bearer abc123", this rule produces token=[REDACTED] abc123. The credential reaches the output because %S+ stops at the space. (lua.org)

Handle bearer credentials before the generic rule, or drop messages that cannot be scrubbed safely.

Based on learnings: logging pipelines must not expose bearer credentials.

If an OTLP producer supplies a numeric body.level, log.body:get_string("level") raises a type error. With the default error_mode: drop, that record is discarded. Ignore non-string levels before setting severity.

Accept the severity names supported by fb.set_severity.

A level such as INFO or warning fails this lookup, so the policy leaves the severity unchanged. The helper accepts both values. Normalize the lookup and include the helper’s supported aliases. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Preserve exponential histograms before scaling.

An exponential histogram with unit ms or KiBy reaches fb.scale_metric, which raises an error. The configured default error_mode: drop then drops the whole family. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Skip the transformation for exponential histograms, including the rename below, and document that they remain unnormalized.

Avoid producing multiple attribute-less points.

If two request points have only client.id and different timestamps, aggregation removes both attributes but keeps the points separate. The subsequent metrics decoder retains only the last attribute-less point, so the earlier value is lost. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Skip aggregation when it would produce multiple attribute-less points, or preserve enough attributes to distinguish them.

Preserve existing stable attributes.

With http/dup, a span can contain both old and stable HTTP attributes. This assignment overwrites the stable value with the old one; the values can differ because method normalization changed. Preserve rename[2] when it exists, then remove the old attribute. (opentelemetry.io)

Update the attribute-renaming logic around attrs:set so it preserves an existing

Remove queries carried by stable HTTP attributes.

Stable HTTP spans can carry the query in url.query, including when http.target is absent. This policy leaves that attribute unchanged, so a token in it reaches the output despite the example’s query-removal goal. Remove url.query independently of http.target and cover that case in the fixture. (opentelemetry.io)

- FTS processes one span at a time and does not repair trace topology. Dropping
a span that has children leaves them pointing at a parent that no longer
exists. This policy only drops leaf spans and single-span traces.

Limit the topology claim to the supplied input.

policy.lua drops matching spans without checking for children. A matching parent in another trace can therefore leave orphaned spans. State that only the supplied input has leaf and single-span drops.

- FTS does not make sampling decisions across a trace. For tail sampling, use
the `sampling` processor.
- Span timestamps are exact 64-bit integers. They are larger than 2^53, so
`:number()` on them fails; compare or copy them as typed values.

Do not compare typed values with <, <=, or ==.

Typed values define no comparison metamethods. < and <= raise a Lua error. == compares object identity, so it returns false for distinct values. Remove the word "compare" from this guidance.

Qualify the diagnostics error-message claim.

Output-limit and telemetry validation failures instead use invalid telemetry fields or output limit; log output-construction failures use cannot construct policy output; edits discarded. State that Lua text is available for callback failures, while other failures use specific or generic diagnostics. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
