Fluentbit Validator

This validates Fluent Bit configs before you deploy them, catching routing mistakes, security issues, and structural problems through static analysis and optional dry-run checks. It runs a Python validator that checks tag matching, required fields, and best practices, then optionally fires up fluent-bit itself in dry-run mode if the binary is available. The execution model is careful about missing dependencies: it degrades gracefully when fluent-bit isn't installed and tells you exactly what got skipped. Findings use a strict three-tier severity system (Error, Warning, Recommendation) with no creative labels allowed, which keeps CI integration predictable. If you maintain Fluent Bit pipelines and want deterministic pre-deploy checks without guessing what broke, this gives you a repeatable audit flow.

Fluent Bit Validator

Use this skill to run deterministic, repeatable validation for Fluent Bit classic-mode configs.

Trigger Phrases

Use this skill when prompts look like:

"Validate this fluent-bit.conf before deploy"
"Lint my Fluent Bit config and report issues"
"Check tag routing and output matches in Fluent Bit"
"Run security checks for Fluent Bit config"
"Dry-run Fluent Bit config and tell me what failed"

Execution Model

Run steps in order. Do not skip Stage 0.

Stage 0: Precheck (Required)

Run from skill directory:

cd devops-skills-plugin/skills/fluentbit-validator

Check required and optional binaries:

command -v python3 >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "python3: available" || echo "python3: missing"
command -v fluent-bit >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "fluent-bit: available" || echo "fluent-bit: missing (dry-run will be skipped)"

Precheck protocol:

If python3 is missing: stop script-based validation, report blocker, and switch to manual config review only.
If fluent-bit is missing: continue static checks, skip dry-run, and record a Recommendation explaining skip reason and next step.
