## Service Section
# Service section

The `service` section defines global properties of the service. The available configuration keys are:

| Key | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| `flush` | Sets the flush time in `seconds.nanoseconds`. The engine loop uses a flush timeout to determine when to flush records ingested by input plugins to output plugins. | `1` |
| `grace` | Sets the grace time in `seconds` as an integer value. The engine loop uses a grace timeout to define the wait time before exiting. | `5` |
| `daemon` | Boolean. Specifies whether Fluent Bit should run as a daemon (background process). Allowed values are: `yes`, `no`, `on`, and `off`. Do not enable when using a Systemd-based unit, such as the one provided in Fluent Bit packages. | `off` |

| `dns.mode` | Sets the primary transport layer protocol used by the asynchronous DNS resolver. Can be overridden on a per-plugin basis. | `UDP` |
| `log_file` | Absolute path for an optional log file. By default, all logs are redirected to the standard error interface (stderr). | _none_ |
| `log_level` | Sets the logging verbosity level. Allowed values are: `off`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, `debug`, and `trace`. Values are cumulative. If `debug` is set, it will include `error`, `warn`, `info`, and `debug`. Trace mode is only available if Fluent Bit was built with the _`WITH_TRACE`_ option enabled. | `info` |

| `coro_stack_size` | Sets the coroutine stack size in bytes. The value must be greater than the page size of the running system. Setting the value too small (`4096`) can cause coroutine threads to overrun the stack buffer. The default value of this parameter should not be changed. | `24576` |

| `json.convert_nan_to_null` | If enabled, `NaN` is converted to `null` when Fluent Bit converts `msgpack` to `json`. | `false` |

### Configuration Example
## Configuration example

Below is a simple configuration example that defines a `service` section with [hot reloading](../../hot_reload.md) enabled and a pipeline with a `random` input and `stdout` output:
