License-Expiration Notifications
To prevent interruptions in data throughput, you can configure a Notification that will be triggered two weeks before your Cribl Stream paid license expires, and then again upon expiration. (If the two-week Notification is cleared from the Messages tab between those dates, but the license has not been extended, it will trigger again.)
License-Expiration Notifications for Webhook Targets
If you are sending a license-expiration Notification to a Webhook Notification target, you can include a variety of expression fields in the target’s Source expression. For more information, see:
