Data sinks

Essentially, Onum outputs data via Sinks. Use them to define where and how to forward the results of your streamlined data.

Overview

Click the Data sinks tab for a general overview of the Data sinks configured in your Tenant and the events sent.

The graph at the top plots the volume ingested by your sinks. Click Events to see the events in for all your sinks, or Bytes to see a bar graph representing the bytes in. Learn more about this graph in this article.

• Use the Stack Data sinks toggle to view each individual Sink on your graph and its metrics.

Hover over a point on the chart to show a tooltip containing the Events and Bytes OUT for the selected time, as well as a percentage of how much increase/decrease has occurred between the previous lapse of time and the one currently selected.

At the bottom, you have a list of all the Sinks in your Tenant. You can switch between the Cards view, which shows each Listener in a card, and the Table view, which displays Listeners listed in a table. Learn more about the cards and table views in this article.

Depending on your Permissions, click the ellipses in the right-hand corner of the Data sink card to reveal the options to Edit, Copy ID, or Remove it.

Click a sink to open its configuration in the right-hand pane. Click the ellipses in the top right to Copy ID or Remove it.
