sink

A 'sink' is a final destination for telemetry and log lines. That is, a 'sink' is that which is at the end of a source -> filter -> filter -> ... -> sink chain. The sink has no obligations with regard to the telemetry and log lines it receives, other than to receive them. Individual sinks make different choices.
