Streams
Streams are how you to push data to Bytebeam. A stream represents a series of timeseries data points.
For example, if your device has a GPS sensor you will probably be collecting data packets containing latitude, longitude, timestamp etc periodically. You can create a GPS stream on Bytebeam and push this data to the stream.
By default bytebeam expects every stream to have atleast three fields:
- id to represent device id
- timestamp to represent the timestamp at which the event happened
- sequence an auto incrementing number used to ensure all data has been transmitted correctly to the cloud.
