Parses an incoming bytes stream into a single event.
read_all [binary=bool]Description
Section titled “Description”The read_all operator takes its input bytes and produces a single event that contains everything. This is useful if the entire stream is needed for further processing at once.
The resulting events have a single field called data.
binary = bool (optional)
Section titled “binary = bool (optional)”Treat the input as binary data instead of UTF-8 text. When enabled, invalid
UTF-8 sequences will not cause warnings, and the resulting data field will be
of type blob instead of string.
