# [Stable] `buffered_outputs`
#
# Enabling buffering for the output queue can offer performance optimization,
# efficient resource usage, and smoother data flow, resulting in a more reliable
# output mechanism. By default, buffering is disabled (false).
# Global buffering option for output channels. When disabled, the output channel
# that supports buffering flushes the output buffer on every alert. This can lead to
# increased CPU usage but is useful when piping outputs to another process or script.
# Buffering is currently supported by `file_output`, `program_output`, and `std_output`.
# Some output channels may implement buffering strategies you cannot control.
# Additionally, this setting is separate from the `output_queue` option. The output queue
# sits between the rule engine and the output channels, while output buffering occurs
# afterward once the specific channel implementation outputs the formatted message.
buffered_outputs: false
