<data-stream>

(Required, string) Name of the data stream to create.

We recommend using the Elastic data stream naming scheme. Data stream names must meet the following criteria:

  • Lowercase only
  • Cannot include \, /, *, ?, ", <, >, |, ,, #, :, or a space character
  • Cannot start with -, _, +, or .ds-
  • Cannot be . or ..
  • Cannot be longer than 255 bytes. Multi-byte characters count towards this limit faster.
