Create a REST or MQTT source. | Before Listener can ingest REST or MQTT data, you must create a source, then a target. A single source can be written to multiple targets. Listener automatically stars a new source, making it a favorite, and lists in the Starred Sources card of the Listener Overview. |
Create and start a target. | Before creating a target, make sure the administrator created a system. The target type and configuration determine how Listener writes data to a destination system.
If you lock a target, you cannot edit or delete it. You must unlock a target to edit or delete it. |
Create a broadcast stream target. | A broadcast stream is a type of target that enables you to connect source data to external apps through a WebSocket server end-point. When you create a broadcast stream, the stream starts automatically. |
