-        # This configuration file for Fluentd is used
-        # to watch changes to Docker log files that live in the
-        # directory /var/lib/docker/containers/ and are symbolically
-        # linked to from the /var/log/containers directory using names that capture the
-        # pod name and container name. These logs are then submitted to
-        # Google Cloud Logging which assumes the installation of the cloud-logging plug-in.
-        #
-        # Example
-        # =======
-        # A line in the Docker log file might look like this JSON:
-        #
-        # {"log":"2014/09/25 21:15:03 Got request with path wombat\\n",
-        #  "stream":"stderr",
-        #   "time":"2014-09-25T21:15:03.499185026Z"}
-        #
-        # The record reformer is used to write the tag to focus on the pod name
-        # and the Kubernetes container name. For example a Docker container's logs
-        # might be in the directory:
-        #  /var/lib/docker/containers/997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b
-        # and in the file:
-        #  997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b-json.log
-        # where 997599971ee6... is the Docker ID of the running container.
-        # The Kubernetes kubelet makes a symbolic link to this file on the host machine
-        # in the /var/log/containers directory which includes the pod name and the Kubernetes
-        # container name:
-        #    synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log

-        # This results in the tag:
-        #  var.log.containers.synthetic-logger-0.25lps-pod_default-synth-lgr-997599971ee6366d4a5920d25b79286ad45ff37a74494f262e3bc98d909d0a7b.log
-        # The record reformer is used is discard the var.log.containers prefix and
