pipeline::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.

`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
}
