Warning
If you still have log or container inputs in your autodiscover templates please follow our official guide to migrate existing log inputs to filestream inputs.
The log input is deprecated in version 7.16 and disabled in version 9.0.
Appenders allow users to append configuration that is already built with the help of either templates or builders. Appenders can be configured to be applied only when a required condition is matched. The kind of configuration that is applied is specific to each appender.
The config appender can apply a config on top of the config that was generated by templates or builders. The config is applied whenever a provided condition is matched. It is always applied if there is no condition provided.
