Configure the Discard output
editConfigure the Discard output
editThe Discard output throws away data.
The Discard output should be used only for development or debugging issues. Data is lost.
This can be useful if you want to work on your input configuration without needing to configure an output. It can also be useful to test how changes in input and processor configuration affect performance.
Example configuration:
output.discard: enabled: true
