However, I'm confused by the presence of some of the chaining methods present. Some make sense, like `top` (it's used in the example), `derivative`, `elapsed`, etc. Others leave me with questions:\r\n\r\n- What would the effects of having an `alert` or `deadman` chained in with the `HTTPOutNode`? Does it show whether or not the alert was tripped?\r\n- What about a chained `httpOut` on an `httpOut`?\r\n- What does `influxdbOut` do differently when chained with `httpOut`? Is it just a passthrough?\r\n\r\nThese can probably be addressed with a few more examples.\r\n\r\n###### URL for relevant page?\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/influxdata/docs.influxdata.com/blob/master/content/kapacitor/v1.0/nodes/http_out_node.md\r\n\r\n###### What products and version are you using?\r\n\r\nKapacitor v0.13\r\n\r\n###### Where did you look before opening the issue?\r\n\r\nI looked exclusively at the doc page."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/influxdata/docs.influxdata.com/issues/comments/252089340","html_url":"https://github.com/influxdata/docs.influxdata.com/issues/595#issuecomment-252089340","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/influxdata/docs.influxdata.com/issues/595","id":252089340,"user":{"login":"beckettsean","id":6537329,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6537329?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean","html_url":"https://github.com/beckettsean","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/beckettsean/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-06T21:09:06Z","updated_at":"2016-10-06T21:09:06Z","body":"@rossmcdonald @nathanielc thoughts on how to clear up Tim's confusion for future docs readers?"}}
