Example

Streams with source and mirror configurations are best managed through a client API. If you intend to create such a configuration from command line with NATS CLI you should use a JSON configuration.

nats stream add --config stream_with_sources.json

Example stream configuration with two sources

Minimal example

{
  "name": "SOURCE_TARGET",
  "subjects": [
    "foo1.ext.*",
    "foo2.ext.*"
  ],
  "discard": "old",
  "duplicate_window": 120000000000,
  "sources": [
    {
      "name": "SOURCE1_ORIGIN",
    },
  ],
  "deny_delete": false,
  "sealed": false,
  "max_msg_size": -1,
  "allow_rollup_hdrs": false,
  "max_bytes": -1,
  "storage": "file",
  "allow_direct": false,
  "max_age": 0,
  "max_consumers": -1,

  "name": "SOURCE_TARGET",
  "deny_purge": false,
  "compression": "none",

}

With additional options
