Query regarding redirecting fluentd's own logs to a file and then using stdout in match directive

[pratikshavyas]

Hi,

I have a use case to redirect fluentd's own logs to a file which is done by the below option:
fluentd -o /path/to/log_file

I have another requirement where I need to read logs from a different file and send it to stdout. I have used below config to achieve this by having a source section to read from the file and then a match section with stdout type.
\<source\> @type tail path /tmp/*.log pos_file /tmp/td-agent.pos read_from_head true tag test \<parse\> @type json \</parse\> \</source\> \<match test\> @type stdout \<format\> @type json \</format\> \</match\>

However, I observe that even logs from this file path is also going to the redirected log file only and not coming to stdout.
Is this expected behaviour and please suggest some way to achieve the above explained use case.
Thanks in advance.
