Dummy
The dummy input plugin, generates dummy events. It is useful for testing, debugging, benchmarking and getting started with Calyptia Fluent Bit.
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 | Rate at which messages are generated expressed in how many times 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. |
Copies | Number of messages to generate each time they are generated. Defaults to 1. |
You can run the plugin from the command line or through the configuration file:
$ calyptia-fluent-bit -i dummy -o stdout
