Administering IBM Streams instances

To create and manage instances, you can use the Streams Console, Streams Studio, or the streamtool command-line interface.

  • Instance identifiers
    An instance name or identifier is the name that you specify when you create an instance.
  • Creating instances
    Use the Streams Console, Streams Studio, or the streamtool mkinstance command to create an IBM Streams instance. When you create an instance you specify the instance name and properties and the resources that run the instance.
  • Starting and stopping instances
    To run IBM Streams, you must start an IBM Streams instance.
  • Monitoring instances
    You can monitor the status and health of your IBM Streams environment and capture the information for offline viewing and analysis.
  • Updating instance properties
    After you create an IBM Streams instance, you can configure it by updating its properties.
  • Removing IBM Streams instances
    When you remove an IBM Streams instance, the instance record in the configuration repository is removed along with all persistent instance state information.
