reformer is Fluentd plugin to add or replace fields of a event record, so ans is A

Seems both A and B will work. However i will go with A, since it is included in the fluentd core and does not require installing a new plugin "The filter_record_transformer filter plugin mutates/transforms incoming event streams in a versatile manner. If there is a need to add/delete/modify events, this plugin is the first filter to try. It is included in the Fluentd's core." https://docs.fluentd.org/filter/record_transformer

Option A

A. Use the filter-record-transformer Fluentd filter plugin to remove the fields from the log entries in flight. Fluentd is a log collector and processor that is commonly used with Google Cloud Platform. The filter-record-transformer plugin for Fluentd can be used to modify log entries as they are being collected, allowing you to remove sensitive fields from the log entries in real-time before they are written to Stackdriver. This can be done quickly, as it doesn't require changes on the application code.

Ans A. Source - https://docs.fluentd.org/filter/record_transformer

Appeared in 07/11/2022 exam keys : Option-A has the filter name wrong. It should be filter_record_transformer not filter-record-transformer

filter_record_transformer enables you to: - Add new fields to log entries - Update fields in log entries - Delete fields in log entries The fluent-plugin-record-reformer output plugin provides functionality similar to the filter_record_transformer filter plugin, except that it also allows you to modify log tags. We dont need to modify the filters here .. hence A

A is the answer. https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/logging/configuration#modifying_log_records Fluentd provides built-in filter plugins that can be used to modify log entries. The most commonly used filter plugin is filter_record_transformer. It enables you to: - Delete fields in log entries

Ans: B https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/logging/configuration According to this link A is wrong as correct plugin name is filter_record_transformer and not filter-record-transformer B is Correct as "The fluent-plugin-record-reformer output plugin provides functionality similar to the filter_record_transformer filter plugin, except that it also allows you to modify log tags. More resource usage is expected with this plugin: each time a log tag is updated, it generates a new log entry with the new tag."

A is correct

It's B. https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/logging/configuration#cloud-fluentd-config: is filter_record_transformer not filter-record-transformer. fluent-plugin-record-reformer is the right name

A is correct

Yes, its A and not B as fluent-plugin-google-cloud from https://cloud.google.com/logging/docs/agent/logging/configuration#cloud-fluentd-config Besides the list of default logs that the Logging agent streams by default, you can customize the Logging agent to send additional logs to Logging or to adjust agent settings by adding input configurations. The configuration definitions in these sections apply to the fluent-plugin-google-cloud output plugin only and specify how logs are transformed and ingested into Cloud Logging.

I think A because The fluent-plugin-record-reformer output plugin provides functionality similar to the filter_record_transformer filter plugin, except that it also allows you to modify log tags
