Should this be targeting the 3.0 or 3.1 branches? master is currently going to be the next 3.2 release: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/wiki/Fluent-Bit-Roadmap

@patrick-stephens not sure how backporting works in the project. Typically master is first followed by backport PRs.

Yup, just trying to understand if this affects just 3.0.1 or more widely. I think you need to tick the backport checkbox then as well and ideally provide the related PRs for those backports.

This affects 2.2.0+. 2.1.10 was the last version without this bug.

@braydonk would you please check this PR since it seems related to the change introduced in 1a8dd39 ?

[braydonk]

This bug was introduced by me in #8223 and #8229. Because of the way the multiline and rewrite_tag Filter plugins work, the input_records and input_bytes metrics would end up getting recorded only for the emitter plugins associated with each of those plugins and not the original input source.

The reason I did that at the time was that this commit ac4ec1f at a glance looked like metrics were supposed to be recorded after writing to the input chunk. However that was a mistaken interpretation on my part at the time, and the important detail was that metrics were recorded before filters were applied.

Thank you @mindw for catching this, sorry for the inconvenience.

@braydonk @edsiper, thank you for the quick turn around. I believe the PRs' title should pass the checker.

@braydonk , @edsiper as CI is green across the board. Is anything left for me to do here?

[braydonk]

Approving the PR is the extent of my authority, it's up to maintainers from here.

[cosmo0920]

Makes sense.

[mindw]

@edsiper @braydonk it would be great to have this fix part the upcoming 3.2.0 release :)
