 # Dummy
 
-The **dummy** input plugin, generates dummy events. It is useful for testing, debugging, benchmarking and getting started with Fluent Bit.
+The _Dummy_ input plugin, generates dummy events. Use this plugin for testing, debugging, benchmarking and getting started with Fluent Bit.
 
-## Configuration Parameters
+## Configuration parameters
 
 The plugin supports the following configuration parameters:
 
 | Key                | Description | Default |
 | :----------------- | :---------- | :------ |
-| Dummy              | Dummy JSON record. | `{"message":"dummy"}` |
-| Metadata           | Dummy JSON metadata. | `{}` |
-| Start\_time\_sec   | Dummy base timestamp, in seconds. | `0` |
-| Start\_time\_nsec  | Dummy base timestamp, in nanoseconds. | `0` |
-| Rate               | Rate at which messages are generated expressed in how many times per second. | `1` |
-| Interval\_sec      | Set time interval, in seconds, at which every message is generated. If set, `Rate` configuration is ignored. | `0` |
-| Interval\_nsec     | Set time interval, in nanoseconds, at which every message is generated. If set, `Rate` configuration is ignored. | `0` |
-| Samples            | If set, the events number will be limited. For example, if Samples=3, the plugin generates only three events and stops. | _none_ |
-| Copies             | Number of messages to generate each time they are generated. | `1` |
-| Flush\_on\_startup | If set to `true`, the first dummy event is generated at startup. | `false` |
-| Threaded | Indicates whether to run this input in its own [thread](../../administration/multithreading.md#inputs). | `false` |
