21. Stream DSL

In the example above, we connected a source to a sink using the pipe symbol |. You can also pass properties to the source and sink configurations. The property names will depend on the individual app implementations, but as an example, the http source app exposes a server.port setting and it allows you to change the data ingestion port from the default value. To create the stream using port 8000, we would use

dataflow:> stream create --definition "http --server.port=8000 | log" --name myhttpstream

The shell provides tab completion for application properties and also the shell command app info <appType>:<appName> provides additional documentation for all the supported properties.

[Note]Note

Supported Stream <appType>'s are: source, processor, and sink
