Add a data stream
editAdd a data stream
editA data stream is a logical sub-division of an integration package,
dealing with a specific observable aspect of the service or product being observed. For example,
the Apache integration has three data streams,
each represented by a separate folder of assets in the data_stream
directory:
apache └───data_stream │ └───access │ └───error │ └───status
Bootstrap a new data stream using the TUI wizard. In the directory of your package, run:
elastic-package create data-stream
Follow the prompts to name, title, and select your data stream type. Then, run this command each time you add a new data stream to your integration.
Next, manually adjust the data stream:
- define required variables
- define used fields
- define ingest pipeline definitions (if necessary)
- update the Elastic Agent’s stream configuration
