Dummy

The dummy input plugin, generates dummy events. It is useful for testing, debugging, benchmarking and getting started with Fluent Bit.

Configuration Parameters

The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:

Key
Description

Dummy

Dummy JSON record. Default: {"message":"dummy"}

Start_time_sec

Dummy base timestamp in seconds. Default: 0

Start_time_nsec

Dummy base timestamp in nanoseconds. Default: 0

Rate

Events number generated per second. Default: 1

Samples

If set, the events number will be limited. e.g. If Samples=3, the plugin only generates three events and stops.

Getting Started

You can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
