SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inspect data streams flowing into Lytics to quickly verify which streams exist, their health, and recent activity, reducing debugging time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • List Streams: Show available streams with basic metadata.
  • Stream Stats: Display key metrics like event counts and last event times.
  • Recent Events: Browse recent events to understand data shape and anomalies.
  • Use Case: When diagnosing ingestion issues, run a quick stream check to confirm the stream is present and producing events.

Quick Start

List all streams and view their latest events for a given STREAM_NAME.

FAQPage Schema
How do I inspect data streams in Lytics to check ingestion health?

To inspect data streams in Lytics, you can list available streams and view their event counts alongside the latest event times. This quickly verifies stream presence and confirms whether ingestion is actively producing events.

What is the best way to debug real-time data streams not receiving events?

The best way to debug real-time data streams not receiving events is to browse recent events to identify data shape anomalies or gaps. Checking stream stats like last event times surfaces ingestion delays or missing data immediately.

Can I view recent events for a specific stream to investigate data quality?

Yes, you can view recent events for a specific stream to investigate data quality by browsing the latest ingested records. This read-only exploration reveals the data shape and highlights anomalies without modifying the stream.

Does stream monitoring with this approach require any special dependencies?

Stream monitoring with this approach requires no external dependencies, operating entirely through the Lytics Streams API using token-based authentication. It provides read-only data exploration to safely list streams and check stats.

Why does my stream show zero event counts during a data quality investigation?

If your stream shows zero event counts during a data quality investigation, it indicates the stream exists but is not actively receiving data. Listing available streams and checking the last event time helps pinpoint ingestion failures upstream.
