Differentiate between FileSink and FileRollSink?



Differentiate between FileSink and FileRollSink?..

Answer / Lokesh Kumar Tiwari

FileSink writes events directly to a file in the specified location without creating new files when it reaches the maximum size or age. On the other hand, FileRollSink creates a new file when the current one reaches its maximum size or age limit. This helps with managing large amounts of data and avoiding file corruption.
