You can create a destination either as part of the stream creation workflow, or independently from the Destinations page. This topic describes how to create a destination from the destinations page.

Creating a destination independently is useful if you want to:

• Configure and verify your destination before creating a stream
• Prepare destination details in advance.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• The required authentication and access permissions for managing destinations.
• Configuration details for your destination and a prepared endpoint—an Object Storage bucket or Custom HTTPS endpoint. For guidance on preparing your endpoint including access control considerations, see Quick start: Audit logs.

Create your destination

To create a destination in Cloud Manager:

1. Log in to Cloud Manager, expand Monitor in the main menu, and select Logs.

2. On the Logs page, select the Destinations tab.

3. Click Create Destination.

4. Enter the destination details.

   The details required depend on the destination type that you select. All destinations require a name. Additional requirements for Object Storage include storage location and credentials, and for Custom HTTPS include endpoint and authentication settings. See Log destinations for descriptions of these fields.

5. (Optional) Test the connection.

6. Click Create Destination.
