process.skip(message)
process.skip(group, message)

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
group	string	Optional. A group to list the message under in the log.
message	string	The reason the record was skipped.

Examples

data.js

function data(record) {
    // This function is called once for each line of data on the second cycle
    // Use this to build dimensions and push data into cubes

    if (!record.name) {
        process.skip("Validation", "Missing required fields. Skipping this entry.");
    }

    // Continue rest of data function
}

Log

Skipped Log:
Group: Validation
Missing required fields. Skipping this entry. [3]

Each message is listed once, with a count of how many times it happened. Here, three records had no name.
