## How it works

Event feeds are groups of events that match specific conditions based on their attributes. Feeds can be sent to connectors or a data storage solution such as EventDB or EventStore. The default event feed is named **All Events** and includes all incoming events, and it cannot be edited or deleted. However, additional feeds can be created to identify subsets of events based on their attributes.

## Create an event feed

To create an event feed:

1. Go to **Validate > Live Events**.
1. Click **+ Add Event Feed**.  
The **Create Event Feed** dialog appears.
1. Set the **Title** and **Notes**.
1. (Optional) Add **Labels**.
1. Enable the feed for EventStore or EventDB.  
This setting requires your account to be enabled for [DataAccess](https://docs.tealium.com/about-dataaccess/).
1. Set the conditions for the feed.

1. If you want the feed to contain restricted data, select **Send Restricted Data to DataAccess**. For more information, see [About Restricted Data](https://docs.tealium.com/about-restricted-data/) 
<blockquote>
Restricted data settings do not apply to connectors. Attributes marked as restricted data are always included, whether you are sending them through mappings or as part of the visitor profile.
</blockquote>

1. Click **Save**.
1. Save and publish your account.

## View event feed details

By default, event feeds are listed in alphabetical order with **All Events** listed at the top. The list displays the following information:

* **Total Volume**: The total number of events detected from all data sources over the last 30 days.
* **Assigned Actions**: The number of connector actions linked to the feed.
* **EventStore**: Indicates if the feed is enabled for EventStore.
* **EventDB**: Indicates if the feed is enabled for EventDB.

From the list of event feeds, click a feed to view the details:

The details display the following:

* **Feed Activity Chart**: The number of events detected from all data sources over the selected time range.
* **Conditions**: The logic used to identify events in the feed.
* **Assigned Actions**: The connector actions linked to the feed.

Feeds linked to an event specification cannot be deleted and their names cannot be changed.
