Steps to reproduce:

  • Start Redis server docker run --name my-redis-container -p 6379:6379 -d redis
  • Start the fluentbit instance docker run -p 127.0.0.1:24224:24224/tcp -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` \ -ti fluent/fluent-bit:1.8.2 /fluent-bit/bin/fluent-bit \ -c $(pwd)/fixtures/fluent.conf
  • Produce the messages https://github.com/IBM/fluent-forward-go/tree/main/cmd/forward
  • kill and restart the fluentbit instance
  • forward client will throw this error write tcp 127.0.0.1:65418->127.0.0.1:24224: write: broken pipe even if fluentbit instance is up

Expected behavior

  • Client should automatically reconnect to the fluentbit instance once its again

@gufranmirza This isn't a bug. The peer closed the connection, hence the broken pipe. You'll need to call client.Disconnect and then client.Connect (Reconnect isn't implemented yet, but feel free to PR ;) ).

If you're proposing automatic reconnects, then that's a feature request. However, I don't foresee implementing something like that in the near future.
