Null
The Null destination is a dummy destination used when a real destination system is not necessary — or not yet available.
Its only purpose is to receive data and log it, without performing any processing, transformation, or sending to external systems.
This destination is useful in various scenarios, for example:
- development or testing phase of a flow, when the real destination is not ready;
- verification of correct mapping and message serialization;
- diagnosis of anomalous behaviors upstream of the flow, isolating the problem.
Flowlyze preserves the message in internal logs, allowing confirmation of correct receipt and easy analysis of the content. No other processing is executed.
Using the Null Destination
The Null destination is particularly useful during development and debugging, allowing you to verify that data arrives correctly at the destination point without having to configure an external system.
