Action Outputs

When a Pipe needs to send data to a secondary destination (e.g., raise a notification), any output (except http-server) can be used under actions.

The below example, publishes "hello dolly" to a RabbitMQ queue named some-name using actions[output].amqp and then proceeds to output.write: console:

name: postact

input:
  exec:
    command: echo '{"message":"hello dolly"}'
    raw: true

actions:
- output:
    amqp:
      input-field: message
      queue:
        name: some-name
      uri: amqp://127.0.0.1//

output:
  write: console

A secondary destination output must not obstruct data flow within the Pipe, i.e., it must be non-blocking.
