Users can create the service by entering the required information for Event Streams and selecting detailed options through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.
According to the policy of Samsung Cloud Platform, the Cloud Monitoring service is scheduled to be terminated.
Accordingly, Event Streams will no longer be able to monitor resources via Cloud Monitoring after the service improvement work in July 2026.
After that, resource monitoring can be continuously performed through the ServiceWatch service released in October 2025.
- Resources created after the service improvement work in March 2026 are provided with monitoring based on the ServiceWatch service by default.
Detailed information about ServiceWatch can be found in the ServiceWatch 개요.
