# Standard output destination plugin

export const entity_0 = "Standard output destination plugin"

export const plugin_0 = "Standard output destination plugin"

The Standard output [destination plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/destination-plugins)
(name: `stdout`) lets you output your telemetry data to the standard output
stream of a command line interface.

If this plugin is active, you can use the
[**Pipeline Output**](/ingest/pipeline/navigate#pipeline-output-v2-pipelines)
pane in the Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline web interface to view the data being
routed through your pipeline.

<Note>
  When you use **Pipeline Output** while this plugin is active, your telemetry
  data is temporarily cached in the Telemetry Pipeline backend.
</Note>

## Supported telemetry types

The {plugin_0} for Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline supports these telemetry types:

|                    Logs                    |                   Metrics                  |                   Traces                   |

## Configuration parameters

Use the parameters in this section to configure the {entity_0}. The
Telemetry Pipeline web interface uses the items in the **Name** column to
describe these parameters. [Pipeline configuration files](/ingest/pipeline/v2/configure/config-files)
use the items in the **Key** column as YAML keys.
