(Required, string) Name of the data stream to create.
// tag::data-stream-name[]
We recommend using the <<elastic-data-stream-naming-scheme,Elastic data stream
naming scheme>>. Data stream names must meet the following criteria:
- Lowercase only
- Cannot include `\`, `/`, `*`, `?`, `"`, `<`, `>`, `|`, `,`, `#`, `:`, or a
space character
- Cannot start with `-`, `_`, `+`, or `.ds-`
- Cannot be `.` or `..`
- Cannot be longer than 255 bytes. Multi-byte characters
count towards this limit faster.
