file Sink

The file sink configures Boundary to send events to a file.

  1. sink {
  2.     name = "obs-sink"
  3.     description = "Observations sent to a file"
  4.     event_types = ["observation"]
  5.     format = "cloudevents-json"
  6.     file {
  7.       file_name = "file-name"
  8.     }
  9.   }
  1. sink {    name = "obs-sink"    description = "Observations sent to a file"    event_types = ["observation"]    format = "cloudevents-json"    file {      file_name = "file-name"    }  }

The sink stanza may be specified more than once to make Boundary send events to multiple sinks; however, each file sink must have a unique path + file_name.
