If the message has multiple parts (is a batch), the request is sent according to RFC1341. To disable this behavior, set the batch_as_multipart field to false. When message retries are exhausted, this output rejects a message. Typically, a pipeline then continues attempts to send the message until it succeeds, whilst applying back pressure. Dynamic URL and header settings You can set the url and headers values dynamically using function interpolations. Performance For improved performance, this output sends: Multiple messages in parallel. Adjust the max_in_flight field value to tune the maximum number of in-flight messages (or message batches). Messages as batches. You can configure batches at both input and output level. For more information, see Message Batching. Fields backoff_on[] A list of status codes that indicate a request failure and trigger retries with an increasing backoff period between attempts. Type: int Default: - 429 basic_auth Allows you to specify basic authentication. Type: object basic_auth.enabled Whether to use basic authentication in requests. Type: bool Default: false basic_auth.password A password to authenticate with. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration. Type: string Default: "" basic_auth.username A username to authenticate as. Type: string Default: "" batch_as_multipart When set to true, sends all message in a batch as a single request using RFC1341. When set to false, sends messages in a batch as individual requests. Type: bool Default: false batching Allows you to configure a batching policy. Type: object # Examples: batching: byte_size: 5000 count: 0 period: 1s batching: count: 10 period: 1s batching: check: this.contains("END BATCH") count: 0 period: 1m batching.byte_size The amount of bytes at which the batch is flushed. Set to 0 to disable size-based batching. Type: int Default: 0 batching.check A Bloblang query that should return a boolean value indicating whether a message should end a batch. Type: string Default: "" # Examples: check: this.type == "end_of_transaction" batching.count The number of messages after which the batch is flushed. Set to 0 to disable count-based batching. Type: int Default: 0 batching.period The period after which an incomplete batch is flushed regardless of its size. Type: string Default: "" # Examples: period: 1s period: 1m period: 500ms batching.processors[] For aggregating and archiving message batches, you can add a list of processors to apply to a batch as it is flushed. All resulting messages are flushed as a single batch even when you configure processors to split the batch into smaller batches.

Type: string Default: "" max_in_flight The maximum number of messages to have in flight at a given time. Increase this to improve throughput. Type: int Default: 64 max_retry_backoff The maximum period to wait between failed requests. Type: string Default: 300s metadata Specify matching rules that determine which metadata keys to add to the HTTP request as headers (optional). Type: object metadata.include_patterns[] Provide a list of explicit metadata key regular expression (re2) patterns to match against. Type: array Default: [] # Examples: include_patterns: - .* - _timestamp_unix$ metadata.include_prefixes[] Provide a list of explicit metadata key prefixes to match against. Type: array Default: [] # Examples: include_prefixes: - foo_ - bar_ - kafka_ - content- multipart[] EXPERIMENTAL: Create explicit multipart HTTP requests by specifying an array of parts to add to a request. Each part consists of content headers and a data field, which can be populated dynamically. If populated, this field overrides the default request creation behavior. Type: object Default: [] multipart[].body The body of the individual message part. Type: string Default: "" # Examples: body: ${! this.data.part1 } multipart[].content_disposition The content disposition of the individual message part. Type: string Default: "" # Examples: content_disposition: form-data; name="bin"; filename='${! @AttachmentName } multipart[].content_type The content type of the individual message part. Type: string Default: "" # Examples: content_type: application/bin oauth Allows you to specify open authentication using OAuth version 1. Type: object oauth.access_token The value used to gain access to the protected resources on behalf of the user. Type: string Default: "" oauth.access_token_secret The secret that establishes ownership of the oauth.access_token. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration. Type: string Default: "" oauth.consumer_key A value used to identify the client to the service provider. Type: string Default: "" oauth.consumer_secret The secret used to establish ownership of the consumer key. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration. Type: string Default: "" oauth.enabled Whether to use OAuth version 1 in requests. Type: bool Default: false oauth2 Allows you to specify open authentication using OAuth version 2 and the client credentials token flow. Type: object oauth2.client_key A value used to identify the client to the token provider. Type: string Default: "" oauth2.client_secret The secret used to establish ownership of the client key. This field contains sensitive information that usually shouldn’t be added to a configuration directly. For more information, see Manage Secrets before adding it to your configuration.
