== Output plugins

An output plugin sends event data to a particular destination. Outputs are the final stage in the event pipeline.

The following output plugins are available:

<%-
full_list=[]
letters=[]
docs.each do |doc|
letter = doc[0]
letters << letter
-%>
<<plugins-outputs-letters-<%= letter %>, <%=letter %>>>
<%- end -%>

<%-
cols=3
rows=(docs.count/cols)+1
item=0
r=0
-%>
[cols="asciidoc,asciidoc,asciidoc"]
|=======================================================================
<%- while r < rows do -%>
<%- c=0; while c < cols do -%>|<% if letters[item].nil? %>&nbsp; <% else %>[[plugins-outputs-letters-<%=letters[item] %>]] <% end %>
<%- letter = letters[item];
arr = docs[letter]
if ! arr.nil?
arr.each do |plugin_item|
full_list << plugin_item
