Create an AnswerX stream

post

https://{hostname}/datastream-config-api/v3/log/answerx/streams

Creates a stream configuration that delivers AnswerX Recursive DNS logs. You can choose the service instances (SSIDs) to monitor in the stream, data set fields to collect in logs, and a destination to send these log files to. Get the ssid values from List AnswerX service instances. Apart from the log and delivery frequency configurations, you can decide to activate the stream when making the request, or later. Note that only active streams collect and send logs to their destinations. See Activate a stream.
