Source configuration.

DBS readers collect data from external sources such as MySQL and PostgreSQL and write the collected events to the target system of your choice.

This section provides general information about source configuration options. Some specific configuration options for different source types are described in the relevant sections.

Here is an example of a JSON source config object.
