There was a problem hiding this comment.
This should rather be typed to DiscardMessageOutput instead of GelfOutput (same for the create method).
|
I'll fix the return types in Thanks! |
|
Just to be clear, can we use this in a graylog server without any ES connected to it? Would it be something like a forwarder to another graylog server (that does the storage instead) ? |
|
Yes, that is one use case for it. Another one could be to run benchmarks having to have storage attached, although we do ship with a benchmark output that writes timings and counts to a CSV file. However if you don't want that you could use this output. |
|
Well how do we launch it? It's not present in graylog-web 1.3.3, I can only choose GELF Output and STDOUT Output. |
|
@razvanphp This message output is supposed to replace the default output (see https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog2-server/blob/1.3.3/graylog2-server/src/main/java/org/graylog2/Configuration.java#L131-L132) and not to be used as a stream output. |
I have butchered the Benchmark Output into something that simply discards messages - the rationale behind that is documented here :

Please consider adding this to the 1.3 branch :)
