stdout
Prints messages to stdout as a continuous stream of data, dividing messages according to the specified codec.

Batches and Multipart Messages​
When writing multipart (batched) messages using the lines
codec the last message ends with double delimiters. E.g. the messages "foo", "bar" and "baz" would be written as:
foo\nbar\nbaz\n
Whereas a multipart message [ "foo", "bar", "baz" ] would be written as:
foo\nbar\nbaz\n\n
This enables consumers of this output feed to reconstruct the original batches. However, if you wish to avoid this behaviour then add a split
processor before messages reach this output.
Fields​
codec
​
The way in which the bytes of messages should be written out into the output data stream. It's possible to write lines using a custom delimiter with the delim:x
codec, where x is the character sequence custom delimiter.
Type: string
Default: "lines"
Requires version 3.46.0 or newer
Option | Summary |
---|---|
all-bytes | Only applicable to file based outputs. Writes each message to a file in full, if the file already exists the old content is deleted. |
append | Append each message to the output stream without any delimiter or special encoding. |
lines | Append each message to the output stream followed by a line break. |
delim:x | Append each message to the output stream followed by a custom delimiter. |
