detach
Starts a pipeline in the node.
pipeline::detach { … }, [id=string]Description
The pipeline::detach operator starts a hidden managed pipeline in the node,
and returns as soon as the pipeline has started.
Subject to Change
This operator primarily exists for testing purposes, where it is often required to run pipelines in the background, but to be able to wait until the pipeline has started. The operator may change without further notice.
id = string (optional)
Sets the pipeline's ID explicitly, instead of assigning a random ID. This
corresponds to the id field in the output of pipeline::list, and the
pipeline_id field in the output of metrics and diagnostics.
Examples
Run a pipeline in the background
pipeline::detach {
every 1min {
version
}
select version
write_lines
save_stdout
}
