Nullqueue Thruput Totals

[ephemeric]

Hi,

Is there a search or metrics.log that one can get an idea of the amount of data/events being sent to the nullqueue because of props and transforms? I would like to see the volume of data sent away to make filter comparisons and to decrease index usage. The filters are on an intermediate forwarder and if I search for the events in question they are not appearing so I assume they work. The cumulative_hits increment steadily, is this something to go by?

I have looked at the following in metrics.log:

03-25-2011 20:38:45.477 INFO Metrics - group=pipeline, name=dev-null, processor=nullqueue, cpu_seconds=0.000000, executes=4450, cumulative_hits=3469242 03-25-2011 20:39:16.479 INFO Metrics - group=pipeline, name=dev-null, processor=nullqueue, cpu_seconds=0.000000, executes=4113, cumulative_hits=3473355

Thanks.

You can tell how many times it has been hit, but you can't tell thruput via metrics.log. That data simply is not recorded.

There isn't any way to see the volume of data being pushed through nullQueue, no.

The above answer is obvious. Is there any other way to see the thruput?
