Create your first stream

You will learn how to sign in and create a stream.

A stream is the destination for every event you send. Create one before you mint an ingest key or run curl.

Sign in

  1. Open the Cordo web app for your environment (for hosted Cordo, https://www.cordo.cloud).
  2. On Sign in to Cordo, enter your Email and Password.
  3. Click Sign in.

Accounts are provisioned — there is no public self-serve sign-up on the login page. If you cannot sign in, ask your admin for an account and a workspace or stream invitation.

After sign-in, pick a workspace in the top bar (then a stream). New streams are created in the workspace you have selected. Use Settings → Members to invite teammates to the workspace, or a stream’s Members panel to invite someone to that stream only.

Create a stream

You can create a stream from the sidebar or from the Streams page.

From the sidebar

  1. In the left sidebar, find the Streams section.
  2. Click New stream (plus control next to Streams).
  3. In the Create stream dialog:
  4. Name — required; use something your team will recognize (for example api-prod).
  5. Description — optional.
  6. Retention — how long events are kept (default is fine for first run).
  7. Max stored bytes — leave empty unless you want a size cap.
  8. Click Create stream.

Cordo selects the new stream for you.

From Streams

  1. Open Streams (click a stream name in the sidebar, or go to the Streams page).
  2. Click New stream.
  3. Fill the same Create stream fields and confirm.

Confirm selection

Stream-scoped pages (Fields, Insights, Query, Events, API keys) use the stream selected in the sidebar. Make sure your new stream is highlighted before you continue.
