# Standard output destination plugin

> Configure the Standard output destination plugin in Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline to send logs, metrics, and traces to standard output.

export const entity_0 = "Standard output destination plugin"

export const plugin_0 = "Standard output destination plugin"

<Info>
  This information is for Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline, which is a standalone
  product separate from Palo Alto Networks Cortex XCOR.
</Info>

The Standard output [destination plugin](/ingest/pipeline/plugins/destination-plugins)
(name: `stdout`) lets you output your telemetry data to the standard output
stream of a command line interface.

If this plugin is active, you can use the
[**Pipeline Output**](/ingest/pipeline/navigate#pipeline-output-v2-pipelines)
pane in the Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline web interface to view the data being
routed through your pipeline.

<Note>
  When you use **Pipeline Output** while this plugin is active, your telemetry
  data is temporarily cached in the Palo Alto Networks Telemetry Pipeline backend.
