How do I use Live Events with the Data Services Portal?
If you have installed Canvas Data Services in your account, you can add and manage data streams in your account.
For more information on Canvas Data, view the Canvas Data dictionary.
Notes:
- Viewing Data Services is an account permission. If you cannot view the Data Services link in Account Navigation, this permission has not been enabled for your user account.
- Accounts must have a supported data stream service URL to receive data streams.
- Canvas Data streams may include personal information for Canvas users. You should only stream data to trusted services and endpoints.
- Canvas Data does not display child account information within a parent account.
- Live events data is processed in the same region as the Canvas instance they are emitted from. Please ensure you can receive events from any IP address. If Canvas encounters errors in user subscriptions, live event subscriptions may be disabled.
