nuke_stream

nuke_stream

This call can shut down a running stream completely and/or clean up any potentially left over stream data in memory. It attempts a clean shutdown of the running stream first, followed by a forced shut down, and then follows up by checking for left over data in memory and cleaning that up if any is found.

It is sent as follows:

{
  "nuke_stream": "stream name here"
}

There is no response to this call.

tip

• Consider using stop_sessions first before nuking a stream. This is "asking nicely" before forcing the stream off.
• In rare cases nuking a healthy stream can cause it to remove data as it's rebooting causing a stuck state. To recover from this state another nuke_stream is required.
