Edit, stop, or delete a stream
Change the settings of a Data Stream stream, stop it and start it again, or delete it, in Azion Console or with the Azion API.
You can edit, stop, or delete a Data Stream stream from Azion Console or with the Azion API. To create a stream, refer to the Data Stream quickstart.
A stopped stream keeps its settings and sends nothing until you start it again. A deleted stream is gone with its settings. For every field you can change, refer to Stream settings.
Prerequisites
Console
- A stream on your Azion account. To create one, refer to the Data Stream quickstart.
- The Edit Data Stream permission. With View Data Stream only, you can see the streams but not edit, stop, or delete them. For details, refer to Stream settings.
- Access to Azion Console. To sign in, refer to How to access Azion Console.
- An account with fewer than 3,000 workloads. At 3,000 workloads or more, the Console blocks the stream forms, and you manage streams through the API only.
Edit a stream
An edit keeps the stream’s ID and changes only the settings you save. Saving checks the format of the fields, not the endpoint, so a wrong credential shows up later as failed sends.
Console
To edit a stream in Azion Console:
Access Azion Console > Data Stream.
In the list, select the row of the stream. The edit page opens, titled with the stream’s name.
A stream without sampling opens with Filter Workloads selected in Option, because the form reads the option from the stream’s transforms.
In the General, Input, Transform, Render Template, Output, or Status section, change the fields you need. The Output section labels the endpoint field Connector.
On an edit, the Console does not require the S3 Secret Key. For AWS Kinesis Data Firehose, enter Secret Key again on every save.
If Sampling is on, the Attention dialog opens with After activating and saving these settings, all other Data Streams will be disabled. Select Confirm.
The Console shows Your data stream has been updated.
Edits take a few minutes to propagate. Saving an active stream that uses sampling deactivates every other stream on the account. After you change the endpoint, check the next sends in Real-Time Events: each send is recorded with the status code the endpoint returned.
Stop a stream
A stopped stream keeps its settings, so you can start it again without configuring it.
Console
To stop a stream in Azion Console:
Access Azion Console > Data Stream.
The Status column shows each stream as Active or Inactive.
In the list, select the row of the stream.
In the Status section, turn off Active.
If the Attention dialog opens, select Confirm.
The Console shows Your data stream has been updated, and the list shows the stream as Inactive. To start the stream again, turn on Active and select Save.
A change of active state takes effect after one to two minutes. During that window, the stream can keep sending. After it, Real-Time Events records no further send from the stopped stream to its endpoint.
Delete a stream
Deleting a stream removes it and its settings. A deleted stream cannot be restored: the Console warns Once confirmed, this action can't be reversed. To pause a stream and keep its settings, stop it instead.
Console
To delete a stream in Azion Console:
Access Azion Console > Data Stream.
In the row of the stream, select Delete, the trash icon. The Delete stream dialog opens.
In the box, enter the name of the stream exactly as the dialog quotes it.
The Console shows Data Stream successfully deleted.
