Mock Data source plugin
The Mock Data source plugin lets you input user-generated data into Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline.
To use the Mock Data source plugin, you must create your own dataset and feed that data to the plugin. If you'd prefer to have Telemetry Pipeline generate simulated log data on your behalf, use the Datagen plug instead.
