Test your Pipeline

Before sending on information, or simply to see the exact events that enter and exit each element of your Pipeline, use the Test Pipeline button in the top right. This way, you can visualise the transformations as they happen.

1

Test Pipeline

Click the Test Pipeline button.

2

Number of events

Enter the number of events to test on (maximum 200). This determines how many events will show in the window.

3

Click Debug

This will open Debug mode.

4

Debug mode

Debug mode shows a tab per Listener, Action and Data sink you have added to the Pipeline.

5

View the transformations

Now you can click through the tabs and see the transformation from input to output. Each port has its own tab.

Alternatively, search for a specific field in the window.

6

Stop

Click Stop Test to close the window.

The null sink

In order to run a Pipeline you need to add a sink, however you may wish to transform your data without actually sending it on. For this, you have the Null sink, which discards events. This way you can test the flow without sending the data on.
