Fluentd reads non json formatted logs as well?

[amansharma846]

What is a problem?

In my cluster, few applications generate logs that are not in JSON format.
I wanted to know whether Fluentd reads non json formatted logs or not.

Query: Can you please mention the Fluentd configurations to enable the same if it can?

Of course, Fluentd can do that.
It depends on input plugins and parser plugins.
