Is there any possibility to temporarily disable an ingest pipeline during development? I.e for testing purposes.

Thanks!

Hi @dot-mike

Before we get in the how...

Can you describe a little bit what you're trying to accomplish?

Is this an out of the box integration?

Is this a pipeline that you wrote?

Are you just trying to see the unmodified message coming in?

There's a number of techniques but give us a little more info and perhaps we can provide a good technique for it.

I found out how. You can add `false` to `Condition (optional)` for each processor. It gets the job done…
