File

Overview

The file transport provides the ability to stream processed events to a file. This transport is ideal for use case validation, testing, and legacy processing software. Various file formats are supported along with file sizes.

Example

file:
  filename: nasdaqAnalytic
  path: /home/app/data/output/analytics
  batchSize: 1024
  timeout: 1000
  formatter:
    csvFormatter:
      contentType: text/csv
      encoding: UTF-8
      delimiter: "|"

This basic example leverages the default setting resulting in events published as a CSV file to /home/app/data/output/analytics/nasdaqAnalytic.csv
