Including Checksums in Events

Destinations that generate events can include a checksum for each file.

When you enable checksum use, the destination includes the checksum and the checksum algorithm in the whole file event record. Whole file event records are generated each time the destination completes writing a whole file.

You can use the following algorithms to generate checksums:
  • MD5
  • SHA1
  • SHA256
  • SHA512
  • MURMUR3_32
  • MURMUR3_128

For details about event generation and event records for a specific destination, see the destination documentation. For generation information about the event framework, see Dataflow Triggers Overview.
