Data Streaming

Data Streaming gives you the autonomy to configure your streaming services by yourself. With Data Streaming terabytes of data can be continuously captured and sent so that you can base your business decisions on dynamically updated information.

The Data Streaming screen lists your Delivery Streams in cards that display the following information:

  • Delivery Stream name;

  • Whether it is active or inactive;

  • Destination: the destination of the delivery stream (Datadog or AWS S3);

  • Creation Date: date you first configured the delivery stream.

  • By enabling the export of traces to AWS S3 or Datadog, there may be an increase in the charges for these services, which is not related to Sensedia.

  • Activation/deactivation of Data Streaming may take up to 15 minutes.
