Create a new stream to track logs for an Akamai Cloud Computing service. Consider these points before creating a stream:

• You first need to create the destination where you want to store log data.

• By default, you can only set up a single stream for each audit log type. Talk to your account team if you need additional streams.

• This operation can only be accessed by account users with unrestricted access. Talk to your local account administrator about access management.

🚧

By using this service, you acknowledge your obligations under the United States Department of Justice Bulk Sensitive Data Transaction Rule ("BSD Rule"). You also agree that you will not use the service to transfer, onward transfer, or otherwise make accessible any United States government-related data or bulk United States sensitive personal data to countries of concern or a covered person, as each of those terms and concepts are defined in the BSD Rule. Anyone using the service is solely responsible for compliance with the BSD Rule.

There's a tutorial

We offer an example API workflow you can follow to set up a stream and its destination.
