Test a destination connection
When you create a pipeline, you can optionally add plugins to confirm that data is flowing through your pipeline to your destination.
Use the Mock Data and Standard output plugins to test connectivity to your destination, and provide insight into what's happening inside your pipeline.
- Add the Mock Data source plugin.
- In the Mock Data configuration page, expand the Advanced section, set the
Samples value to

- In your pipeline, click Save and Deploy.
- Access your destination and verify the mock data is streaming. For example, in Chronosphere Observability Platform, open Logs Explorer and search for the string generated by the Mock Data plugin.
- After confirming that data is flowing through your pipeline, remove the Mock Data plugin.
