Stream statuses

Status	Description
New	Stream has not been started yet.
Streaming	Stream is accumulating or sending data to the export target.
Paused	Data is being accumulated in the queue.
Stopped	No data is being accumulated or sent to the export target.

Stream indicators

Stream indicators assist in understanding the state of the stream, highlighting missing elements, and indicating areas that still require configuration.

Indicator	Description
No export target	When no export target is defined, the golden records matching the stream’s filters will be accumulated in the queue. If you want to send the records to an external system, you need to add the export target to the stream.
No filters	When no filters are defined, all golden records will be accumulated or sent to the export target.
No properties selected	When no properties are selected, default properties of the golden records will be accumulated or sent to the export target. The list of default properties vary depending on the export target.
Streaming	The records are being sent to the export target.
Exporting	The export target is receiving records.
Not exporting	The export target is not receiving records. To fix this, check the export target configuration.

Message queues

When starting the stream, records in CluedIn undergo a three-part process before being sent to the export target: ingestion, processing, and publishing. At each stage, the records are temporarily stored in queues named accordingly.

Queue	Description
Ingestion	This is where all of the potential records that could be streamed are stored.
Processing	This is where the records that meet the stream’s filters are stored and where the stream’s actions are executed.
Publishing	This is where the records are sent to the export target.
