For deployments using this patch, enable tls.verify_hostname: on on the affected components and keep tls.verify: on. The setting alone is insufficient on an unpatched release.

Verification passed: full build with FLB_OUT_PGSQL=Off, focused TLS CTest, S3 runtime regression, 26 functional integration cases, and 10 focused integration cases under strict Valgrind. The Chronicle Valgrind run initially found a startup cleanup leak; I fixed it and the final combined Valgrind run passed all 10 cases. The build used FLB_OUT_PGSQL=Off because this environment lacks the -lpq linker dependency. The integration tests used a temporary Python 3.12 environment because the existing Python 3.14 environment cannot import the pinned protobuf package.

Walkthrough

Filter, input, and output TLS contexts now receive configured hostname-verification settings. Azure Blob and S3 authorization endpoints select TCP or TLS based on URL scheme and apply configured TLS verification. Chronicle initialization routes selected failures through shared cleanup. UDP DNS lookups skip timer creation when the timeout is nonpositive.

Changes: TLS hostname verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Filter and input TLS configuration
plugins/filter_kubernetes/kube_meta.c, plugins/filter_nightfall/nightfall.c, plugins/filter_nightfall/nightfall.h, plugins/in_kubernetes_events/kubernetes_events_conf.c
Nightfall adds tls.verify_hostname, defaulting to off. Filter and input TLS setup applies the configured value.
Output OAuth and service TLS contexts
plugins/out_azure_kusto/azure_kusto.c, plugins/out_azure_logs_ingestion/azure_logs_ingestion_conf.c, plugins/out_bigquery/bigquery.c, plugins/out_chronicle/chronicle.c, plugins/out_gcs/gcs.c, plugins/out_http/http_conf.c, plugins/out_opentelemetry/opentelemetry_conf.c, plugins/out_stackdriver/stackdriver.c
Output initialization applies hostname-verification settings to OAuth and service TLS contexts. Chronicle initialization also routes upstream creation, OAuth2 context creation, and legacy log-type validation failures through shared cleanup.
AWS provider and client TLS contexts
plugins/out_cloudwatch_logs/cloudwatch_logs.c, plugins/out_es/es_conf.c, plugins/out_kinesis_firehose/firehose.c, plugins/out_kinesis_streams/kinesis.c, plugins/out_opensearch/os_conf.c, plugins/out_s3/s3.c, src/aws/flb_aws_credentials.c
AWS credential-provider, STS, and service TLS contexts receive hostname-verification settings. Elasticsearch HA nodes enable verification when either the output or node setting is enabled.
Authorization endpoint transport and verification
plugins/out_azure_blob/azure_blob_conf.c, plugins/out_s3/s3.c, tests/runtime/out_s3.c
Azure Blob and S3 authorization endpoints select TCP or TLS based on URL scheme and configure TLS verification. The S3 runtime test checks hostname-verification propagation, certificate verification, and the configured CA file.

UDP DNS timeout handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Conditional UDP timeout timer
src/flb_network.c
The UDP lookup path creates a timer only when the computed timeout is greater than zero. Otherwise, it follows the existing yield path.

🟡 Minor · Do not apply output TLS settings to the HTTP configuration endpoint. · azure_blob_conf.c:375-398

plugins/out_azure_blob/azure_blob_conf.c:375-398
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not apply output TLS settings to the HTTP configuration endpoint.

The PR base created a TLS context with verification disabled and no CA settings, then used FLB_IO_TCP. The head still creates that context unconditionally, but it now passes the output instance's verification and CA settings.

When Azure service TLS is disabled and configuration_endpoint_url uses http://, an invalid CA path or file can make flb_tls_create() fail and abort startup before the plaintext upstream is created. Apply the output TLS settings only when io_flags == FLB_IO_TLS. Keep the context allocation because the current cleanup paths unconditionally call flb_tls_destroy(tls_context).
