10/27/2025, 2:20 PMHey guys, I'm new to Fluent-bit, and I'm trying to adjust my logs to our required format. However sadly not a single change i make to my helm values.yaml file is reflected onto my logs. Is there anyone who could help me out? 🙂 Looking forward to it.
For those interested, I would like to lift my body of be individual key value pairs. And I'm reading directly from my .log files
Copy code

Pat

Pat
10/28/2025, 10:39 AMNormally I would recommend to iterate locally with a simple container approach then once working move it into helm: use stdout as well to check the outputs.

10/28/2025, 10:40 AMIt looks to me like you're just getting the default of the entire log line in your body message presumably with some kind of OTEL output?

multiline.parser cri, docker
