Creates an instance of an event dispatcher sink entity. create [node node-id] event dispatcher - sink sink-name [maximum buffer size integer] A sink manages incoming connections and filters incoming events. Each sink maintains a filter that is applied to all streams that are assigned to that sink. Sink-name is a simplename that identifies this particular event dispatcher sink instance. Maximum buffer size is an optional argument. Example: create event dispatcher sink local_sink
1 – maximum_buffer_size
Maximum buffer size is an optional argument that specifies the maximum number of octets to be used for event processing of this sink. The current value is displayed in the buffer size status attribute. You can specify a size smaller than the implementation's default, provided it is still sufficient to hold the events lost event. If the value specified is inadequate for the events lost event, an "insufficient resources" exception is returned. It is recommended that you use the default buffer size, which is 16384. Example: create event dispatcher sink local_sink - maximum buffer size 16384
