Walkthrough

Configuration documentation for the dummy input plugin was restructured, converting configuration keys from mixed-case formatting to lower-case snake_case convention. Documentation order was reorganized and example indentation adjusted for alignment.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Documentation restructuring pipeline/inputs/dummy.md	Configuration keys standardized to snake_case (e.g., Dummy → dummy, Start_time_sec → start_time_sec); documentation order reordered; example indentation adjusted; new key fixed_timestamp added

Estimated code review effort

This is a straightforward documentation formatting and key-naming standardization change affecting a single Markdown file. The changes are consistent, repetitive, and cosmetic in nature—only configuration key names, documentation structure, and indentation are modified with no functional logic alterations.

Possibly related issues

• Dummy input plugin missing options and cleanup needed in doc. #2243: Directly addresses dummy input plugin configuration documentation and key naming standardization, including the addition of fixed_timestamp and other renamed options.

Poem

🐰 From camelCase to snake_case we hop,
With tidy docs, the mess we stop,
Each config key now neat and lean,
The clearest documentation seen! ✨

12-12: Minor: clarify case sensitivity between configuration table and .conf example.

The configuration table documents the key as lowercase dummy (line 12), but the fluent-bit.conf example uses PascalCase Dummy (line 69). While this likely reflects the proper conventions (snake_case for YAML, PascalCase for .conf), it could confuse users reading the table in isolation.

Consider adding a note in the documentation explaining that parameter names are case-insensitive, or update the table header to show both naming conventions.

Also applies to: 69-69

9-22: Configuration documentation well-structured with new parameter added.

The parameter table is clearly organized with consistent snake_case naming, and the new fixed_timestamp parameter is properly documented with a helpful description. The YAML example (line 56) correctly uses lowercase keys matching the table.

---

13-13: Verify the new fixed_timestamp parameter description against the plugin implementation.

Ensure that the description—"If enabled, use a fixed timestamp. This allows the message to be pre-generated once."—accurately reflects the parameter's behavior in the actual plugin code, particularly regarding pre-generation and timestamp handling.
