Cap'n Proto Decoder

Cap'n Proto is by far the fastest supported input format.

It can be selected in the [input] section of the configuration file:

[input]
framing = "capnp"
format = "capnp"

Being a binary format where the format implicitly includes message sizes, the splitter and the parser are not separate steps. As a result, both framing and format have to be set to capnp.

Records are deserialized using the record.capnp file.

This format can be used with the following input types:

• stdin
• TCP
• TLS
