Adding a new Stream

You can add your own Stream that can be written to and/or read from Cloud Actions.

The following steps describe how to create a new Stream:

  1. Navigate to Cloud > Streams.
  2. Click Add Stream.
  3. Click on Path. Append the company name with a new stream name. For example: /my_company/users/jsmith/my_stream. Tip: It's recommended that you create a meaningful stream name that allows you to easily identify the stream's purpose.
  4. Click on Description and enter a description.
  5. (Optional) Change the default capacity. This sets the maximum number of events that can be stored within the stream. The default value is 1,000 and the maximum is 100,000. When the Stream exceeds its capacity of events, older events will be deleted automatically. If the capacity is set to 0, no events are saved; if the capacity is set to 1, the same event is overwritten every time a new event occurs.
  6. Click Create to create the Stream.

The parent stream in the path must exist.
