Hi all, I’m testing the new Event Stream feature in EA https://auth0.com/docs/customize/events/create-an-event-stream. I have created it manually using the Dashboard for user.created events and setting the Destination as Webhook.
The events are being streamed to the endpoint I have set up but what I noticed is that it will send an event for each user.created action that happened historically in the tenant. Meaning that it is sending events that happened 2 months ago for example, instead of only sending real-time events.
I find this can be a bit of an unexpected behaviour because imagine we have recently added 2M users to Auth0, it will send those 2M events regarding all the users that we migrated to Auth0. Is this the expected behaviour? Is there a way to only start streaming the events that happened after the stream is enabled?
Thank you!

Hi @rmartins

Hi @rmartins
I appreciated your patience on this!
After discussing with our internal team, this seems to have been a bug on your tenant, that was previously seen a few number of times. Essentially, the intended behaviour would be, as you have pointed out, that the stream should start from the point it was created and not stream events before that.
As this is still in Early Access, such input is vital for our team to observe and correct weird unintentional behaviour, so thank you for reaching out to us!
In the near future ( no ETA I’m afraid), we can expect a documentation to be released highlighting some changes, intended use-cases, expected outcome etc. in regards with the Event Stream feature.
If anything else comes up, do not hesitate to reach out to us and we’ll gladly look into the matter for you.
Wishing you a great rest of the week!

Returning with a small update, our internal team has this bug under observation and will be pushing updates to remediate this issue that hopefully will reach all tenants. In case you keep noticing this, or anyone else is having this exact issue, please let us know so that we can do further research into the matter.
Take care!
