 # Sinks
-There are currently two sinks shipped with the cc-metric-collector:
 * `stdoutSink.go`: Writes all metrics to `stdout` in InfluxDB line protocol. The sink does not use https://github.com/influxdata/line-protocol to reduce the executed code for debugging
 * `influxSink.go`: Writes all metrics to an InfluxDB database instance using a blocking writer. It uses https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-go . Configuration for the server, port, user, password and database name are in the global configuration file
 * `natsSink.go`: Sends all metrics to an NATS server using the InfluxDB line protocol as encoding. It uses https://github.com/nats-io/nats.go . Configuration for the server, port, user, password and database name are in the global configuration file. The database name is used as subject for the NATS messages.
