»file Sink

The file sink configures Boundary to send events to a file.

sink {
    name = "obs-sink"
    description = "Observations sent to a file"
    event_types = ["observation"]
    format = "cloudevents-json"
    file {
      file_name = "file-name"
    }
  }

sink {    name = "obs-sink"    description = "Observations sent to a file"    event_types = ["observation"]    format = "cloudevents-json"    file {      file_name = "file-name"    }  }

The sink stanza may be specified more than once to make Boundary send events to multiple sinks; however, each file sink must have a unique path + file_name.
