Creating a Google Adwords Stream

If you have just created a Google Adwords data source, skip to step 3.

1. In the Stream Sources + panel, click the Google Adwords source for which you want to create a stream.
   The streams associated with that source are displayed. If the Streams panel is empty, no streams exist for that source.
2. Click Streams + to display the Stream Query page. 
3. In the Google Adwords Stream Query page:
   
   
   
   • Select the account from the list of available Google Adwords accounts.
   • Select the use case from the available use cases.
   • Set the scheduling parameters.
     Note: If you select Hourly from the Collect Since list of options, the historical options to query the stream will no longer be available; the scheduling will only apply from this moment onwards. Contact Customer Support for further details.
   • Click Next to collect data and move to the Stream table.
4. In the Stream Table page:
   
   • Click Stream-It to stream the metrics.
   • We will create the Required Alerts and Dashboard for you; they will be available once the stream is live.
