Then you write exactly what you need.

If you want only in the output, according to LS design, data will be transform in the filter. There is an option to send "sleeping data" to a new pipeline in the output, where you data in sleep. If there is no plugin, write your own ruby code. Again, maybe someone will have a better idea.
