# Output filter plugin for modifying each event record

Adding arbitary field to event record without custmizing existence plugin.

For example, generated event from *in_tail* doesn't contain "hostname" of running machine.
In this case, you can use *record_modifier* to add "hostname" field to event record.

## Installation

Use RubyGems:

    gem install fluent-plugin-record-modifier

## Configuration

    <match pattern>
      type record_modifier
      tag foo.filtered

      gen_host ${hostname}
      foo bar
    </match>

If following record is passed:

```js
{"message":"hello world!"}
```

then you got new record like below:

```js
{"message":"hello world!", "gen_host":"oreore-mac.local", "foo":"bar"}
```
