drop_on_error

DEPRECATED

This component is deprecated and will be removed in the next major version release. Please consider moving onto alternative components.

Attempts to write messages to a child output and if the write fails for any reason the message is dropped instead of being reattempted.

# Config fields, showing default values
output:
label: ""
drop_on_error: {}

Alternatives​

This output has been replaced with the more explicit and configurable drop_on output.

This output can be combined with a child retry output in order to set an explicit number of retry attempts before dropping a message.

For example, the following configuration attempts to send to a hypothetical output type foo three times, but if all three attempts fail the message is dropped entirely:

output:
drop_on_error:
retry:
max_retries: 2
output:
type: foo
