<!-- Source: https://docs.redpanda.com/connect/components/scanners/to_the_end.md -->

Read the input stream all the way until the end and deliver it as a single message.

```yml
# Config fields, showing default values
to_the_end: {}
```

> ⚠️ **CAUTION**
>
> Some sources of data may not have a logical end, therefore caution should be made to exclusively use this scanner when the end of an input stream is clearly defined (and well within memory).
