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>

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? |

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.
