Watchpoint stream format


A Watchpoint stream consists of a stream of records (page or objects), and each record contains multiple data fields. The stream is formatted in CSV format.

At the beginning of the stream, a header indicates the version of the stream format and the selected field headers.

Stream records exceeding the global threshold or subscriber threshold are dropped in a lossy fashion. When this occurs, a system message is inserted into the stream as follows:
