New encoding
and framing
options for sinks
Sinks that allow codecs have been updated to allow analogous options to those
that were previously added to sources. This means you can
now, rather than just specifying encoding.codec
, you can now supply custom
framing
options. Additionally, the supported codecs (encoding.codec
) for
each sink was expanded to be a uniform set of codecs.
For example, if you have a socket
sink that you want to send
length-delimited JSON-encoded, messages, you can now do so
with configuration like:
[sinks.socket]
type = "socket"
address = "92.12.333.224:5000"
mode = "tcp"
framing.method = "length_delimited"
encoding.codec = "json"
This will encode messages flowing into this sink as JSON and frame them using length-delimited framing.
