Create a drain

Beta

Create a drain. Events after now are exported in batches, in commit order, retried with backoff until delivered: otlp sends them as OTLP/HTTP logs and their finished spans as traces, s3 and r2 write gzipped NDJSON under time-partitioned keys, https posts NDJSON signed like webhooks (the secret is returned once). Credentials are secret references.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer

Use Bearer <api-key>.

Headers

Allowed values:
BCTRL-SpacestringOptional
Select one authorized Space by its opaque ID or unique name. Omission uses the operation default.
BCTRL-Subaccount-IdstringOptional
Optional effective subaccount context for organization API keys. Subaccount API keys are already scoped and cannot use this header to act as another subaccount.
Idempotency-KeystringOptional1-200 characters

Optional retry key for this billable operation. Reusing the same key with the same request replays its stable outcome; credential-bearing results may be freshly issued for the same principal. Reusing it with a different request returns 409.
