This destination is for testing of Airbyte connections. It can be set up as a source message logger, a /dev/null, or to mimic specific behaviors (e.g. exception during the sync). Please use it with discretion. This destination may log your data, and expose sensitive information.

Mode​

Silent (/dev/null)​

This is the only mode allowed on Airbyte Cloud.

This mode works as /dev/null. It does nothing about any data from the source connector. This is usually only useful for performance testing of the source connector.

Logging​

This mode logs the data from the source connector. It will log at most 1,000 data entries.

There are the different logging modes to choose from:

ModeNotesParameters
First N entriesLog the first N number of data entries for each data stream.N: how many entries to log.
Every N-th entryLog every N-th entry for each data stream. When N=1, it will log every entry. When N=2, it will log every other entry. Etc.N: the N-th entry to log. Max entry count: max number of entries to log.
Random samplingLog a random percentage of the entries for each data stream.Sampling ratio: a number in range of [0, 1]. Optional seed: default to system epoch time. Max entry count: max number of entries to log.

Throttling​

This mode mimics a slow data sync. You can specify the time (in millisecond) of delay between each message from the source is processed.

Failing​

This mode throws an exception after receiving a configurable number of messages.

Namespace support​

This destination does not support namespaces.
