Kibana Streams

Read stream metadata, settings, and attachments, and manage stream lifecycle (enable, disable, resync) via the Kibana Streams REST API. Streams are an experimental way to manage data in Kibana — expect API and behavior changes. This skill covers read operations and lifecycle only; create, update, delete, fork, and other mutating operations may be added in a later version.

For detailed endpoints and parameters, see references/streams-api-reference.md.

When to use

• Listing all streams or getting a single stream's definition and metadata
• Reading a stream's ingest settings, or the ES|QL definition of a query stream
• Listing attachments (dashboards, rules, SLOs) linked to a stream
• Enabling, disabling, or resyncing streams
