config: fix startup abort when log_level set via env and config#12316saisree1217 wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
flb_config_set_property() initializes ret to -1 and, in the log_level branch, only assigns ret inside the set_log_level_from_env() failure path. When FLB_LOG_LEVEL is set in the environment, set_log_level_from_env() succeeds and that block is skipped, so ret is never reassigned and stays -1. The log level is applied correctly, but the function still returns -1. Before 5.1.0 the caller discarded this return value so the bug was harmless. Since 5.1.0 the caller checks the return value and aborts startup on -1, so setting FLB_LOG_LEVEL together with Log_Level in the [SERVICE] section aborts with 'could not configure service property log_level'. Add an else branch on the environment-variable path that records success (ret = 0), since the level has already been applied by set_log_level_from_env(). This restores the pre-5.1.0 behavior where the environment variable takes precedence and startup proceeds normally. Fixes fluent#12310 Signed-off-by: Hima Poojitha Sai Sree Myla <himapom@amazon.com>

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The startup fix is localized and restores normal handling when the log level is configured through both supported mechanisms. Merge readiness has one bounded test-isolation risk: the new test may not restore an initially present but empty environment variable, so the test setup should be corrected with owner awareness.

Is it possible to add a test for the func and specifically the test case - testing precedence when the same config is defined via configuration and env variable? So that any future changes do not reintroduce this regression? |

The patch looks fine but we need to add an internal test at least like as:

Add a regression test for flb_config_set_property() covering the case where the log level is set through both the FLB_LOG_LEVEL environment variable and the [SERVICE] Log_Level property. The test asserts that the environment value takes precedence and that the function returns 0, guarding against the startup abort regression reported in fluent#12310. Additional cases verify the config-only path is applied and that an invalid value is still reported as an error.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Preserve the initial empty-variable state.
Lines 54-58 treat a present but empty FLB_LOG_LEVEL as unset. Lines 63-69 then remove it after the test. On POSIX, an empty variable and an unset variable are different states.
Record whether getenv() returned NULL separately from its value. Restore an empty value when it was initially present. Use a platform-specific helper if the Windows CRT wrapper cannot represent that state.

Thanks for the review @singholt and @cosmo0920. I have just added the test as suggested. |

Setting the log level via both the
FLB_LOG_LEVELenvironment variableand
Log_Levelin the[SERVICE]section causes Fluent Bit to abort atstartup:
This is a regression: it works on 5.0.9 and earlier, and fails on 5.1.0
and 5.1.1.
Root cause
In
src/flb_config.c,flb_config_set_property()initializesret = -1. In thelog_levelbranch,retis only assigned inside theset_log_level_from_env(config) < 0block. WhenFLB_LOG_LEVELis set,set_log_level_from_env()succeeds (returns 0), so the block is skippedand
retstays-1. The level is applied correctly, but the functionstill returns
-1.Before 5.1.0 the caller discarded this return value, so the latent bug
was harmless. Since 5.1.0 the caller checks the return value and aborts
on
-1, exposing the bug.Fix
Add an
elsebranch on the environment-variable path that recordssuccess (
ret = 0), since the level has already been applied byset_log_level_from_env(). This restores the pre-5.1.0 behavior wherethe env var takes precedence and startup proceeds normally.
