# Dummy logs, metrics, and traces source plugin

export const entity_0 = "Dummy logs, metrics, and traces source plugin"

export const plugin_0 = "Dummy logs, metrics, and traces source plugin"

The Dummy logs, metrics, and traces [source plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/source-plugins)
(name: `event_type`) lets you create placeholder telemetry data for Telemetry
Pipeline.

Although this is a self-contained plugin that doesn't communicate with external
sources, it's still classified as a [pull-based](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/source-plugins#push-based-and-pull-based-source-plugins)
source plugin.

## 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.

This value must follow Fluent Bit's rules for [unit sizes](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/administration/configuring-fluent-bit#unit-sizes). If unspecified, no limit is enforced. | *none*  |
