Create a storage connection for exports

After creating a storage connection, you can export clipped events to that destination and initiate, monitor, or cancel exports of time‑bounded clipped events.

Follow these steps to create a new storage connection:

1. Log in to your MSL5 account and select ☰ > Export Storage.
2. Click on the Add connection button.
3. In the Connection name field, enter a name for the storage connection. This must be unique across all storage connections.
4. From the Contract drop-down menu, select the contract being charged for the stream.
5. From the Group drop-down menu, select the appropriate group with user access and visibility to the stream (e.g., read/write permissions).
6. In the Linode object storage endpoint field, specify the external Linode object storage endpoint used to store the exported clipped events. Use the following format, <bucket>.<region>.linodeobjects.com For example, clips-export-bucket.us-org-10.linodeobjects.com
7. In the Folder field, specify a folder path in the bucket to store the exported clipped events.
8. In the Access key field, enter the Access Key ID for the Linode object storage connection.
9. In the Secret key field, enter the Secret Access Key for the Linode object storage connection.
10. Click Validate and Confirm.
