Streams (Data Tables) are essential in IoT, enabling real-time processing and analysis of data from connected devices, sensors, and systems.

Before streams can be used to build panels in dashboards, they must first be created in the Settings/Streams section. The stream name must match the actual stream produced by the device.

To create a stream in Bytebeam console,

1

Access Settings Tab

Navigate to the Settings Tab by clicking on your username at the top right

2

Navigate to Streams Tab and initiate Stream Creation

Go to Streams tab and click on the Create Stream button

3

Fill Stream Details

Type the Stream name, fields along with datatypes, then click on Submit button to create the stream.

​
Important Info

Make sure the stream name on the platform matches the actual stream name generated by the device.

The Timestamp and Sequence fields are automatically added to every Stream by default.

  • The Timestamp indicates when an event occurred, while the Sequence is an auto-increment field pushed by the device. It is used internally to ensure all data sent by the device has reached the server.
By default device_shadow and action_status streams get created for every new project
