Local Tutorial Outputs to disk

The output tab let's you configure outputs to route data to.

In this tutorial, you'll learn to:

• Add an output location
• Write data to this output location

Setting up an output

• Open your Flow
• Open the Output Tab to configure an output and select Add 'Local'
  
  
• For Alias, input "myOutput"; this is how the output will be referred to throughout the Flow,
• For folder, you can input '/myOutput'; this is the folder data will go to within the docker container
• Format will be JSON
• You can decide to use GZIP compression or none as well
  
  
• Go back to the Query tab and input a new OUTPUT statement at the end:
  

OUTPUT extendedTemperature TO myOutput;

• Click Deploy.

You have connected the Flow to a new output.

View output within a docker container

You can view files within a container by statrting a bash session inside the container. This is useful to view output in case you have that specified in your flow. You can cd into the folder you specified when adding a local output location, say, Local Folder URI (e.g. /app/aspnetcore/output)

• If you wish to view data from output

  docker exec -it dataxlocal /bin/bash
  

• View the contents of a folder

  ls
  

• Navigate to a particular folder

  cd <folder name>
  

• View the contents of a file

  cat <filename>
