How-to guides

    Users can create the service by entering the required information for Event Streams and selecting detailed options through the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.

    Cloud Monitoring service termination notice

    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.

    Create Event Streams

    You can create and use the Event Streams service in the Samsung Cloud Platform Console.

    5. Disk Edit After entering the expanded capacity in the popup window, click the Confirm button.

    Add Broker Node

    If you need to expand the Event Streams cluster, you can add nodes with the same specifications as the Broker Node you are using. The added nodes are incorporated into the existing cluster without server downtime, and the existing data is automatically redistributed.

    Guide
    • You can use up to 10 nodes within the cluster. * Please note that additional charges apply to the created nodes.
    • During node addition, the cluster’s performance may degrade.

    To add a Broker node, follow these steps.
