# fluent-plugin-elapsed-time
[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/sonots/fluent-plugin-elapsed-time.png?branch=master)](http://travis-ci.org/sonots/fluent-plugin-elapsed-time)
Fluentd plugin to measure elapsed time to process messages
## Installation
Use RubyGems:
gem install fluent-plugin-elapsed-time
## Configuration
Example:
Following example measures the max and average time taken to process [fluent-plugin-grep](https://github.com/sonots/fluent-plugin-grep) => [fluent-plugin-parser](https://github.com/tagomoris/fluent-plugin-parser) => out_stdout chain in messages. Please notice that this plugin measures the total processing time until match chain finishes.
```apache
type elapsed_time
tag elapsed
interval 60
type grep
exclude foobar
add_tag_prefix greped
type parse
format ltsv
key_name message
remove_prefix greped
add_prefix parsed
type stdout
type stdout
```
## Option Parameters
* tag
The output tag name. Default is `elapsed`
* interval
The time interval to emit measurement results
* each
Measure time for each `message` or `es` (event stream). Please notice that the event stream (would be a msgpack) will be unpacked if `message` is specified, which would cause performance degradation. Default is `es`.
