📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Loki documentation table was reformatted and expanded with OAuth2 parameters. A new section documents client-credentials authentication, required parameters, token refresh, retry behavior, and configuration examples.

Changes

Loki OAuth2 documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
OAuth2 configuration reference
pipeline/outputs/loki.md
The configuration table documents OAuth2 client authentication, JWT settings, token requests, refresh behavior, timeouts, token URL requirements, and request metadata. A new section documents authentication requirements, token handling, retry behavior, and YAML and classic configuration examples.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4adc8

The documentation may advertise an OAuth2 timeout setting that Loki does not support, which can mislead operators configuring token requests. Resolve the documented configuration mismatch before merging.

@umarhussain15 thanks for the docs PR! As you can see I've polished this up a bit for you and hit a small snag on the markdown lint runner tests.

I've tried to do this for you but it's not possible on your branch, so I need you to rebase your branch to the master after #2709 merged as this is the tooling update for the Markdown lint runner error we are seeing failing right now. If you do that and push your branch, it should pass and I'll review then.

  Document the 17 oauth2.* parameters added by fluent/fluent-bit#12401.
  Names and defaults verified against that PR's config map.

  - Add the 17 oauth2.* rows to the parameters table.
  - Convert the table to compact style and sort all 40 rows
    alphabetically, matching http.md and opentelemetry.md.
  - Fix oauth2.timeout: the http.response_timeout fallback exists only
    in out_http. A value of 0s applies no explicit response timeout.
  - Fix oauth2.jwt_header: recognized values are kid, x5t, and x5t#S256.
  - Mark the conditionally required oauth2 parameters, since a missing
    value stops Fluent Bit from starting.
  - Add a "Use OAuth 2.0 authentication" section covering per-auth_method
    requirements, token refresh and 401 retry, and an example config.
  - oauth2.jwt_header: document kid, x5t and x5t#S256 as the supported
    values and note that the setting isn't validated, so an unrecognized
    name is sent verbatim as the claim name (src/flb_oauth2.c).
  - oauth2.jwt_cert_file: note that the oauth2.jwt_header thumbprint is
    derived from this certificate.
  - oauth2.client_secret, jwt_cert_file and jwt_key_file: state that the
    requirement only applies when oauth2.enable is true. The checks run
    inside that guard, and auth_method defaults to basic, so the previous
    wording read as unconditional.
  - oauth2.enable: document that it's incompatible with http_user,
    http_passwd and bearer_token. Unlike out_http and out_opentelemetry,
    out_loki rejects that combination at startup.

@umarhussain15 I found a way to fix this without your help! Please ignore, this is going to be reviewed now and staged until the code PR merges. Thanks for hanging in and reading all my messages.
