Forming Input Filters in AWS Elemental Delta

Input filters in AWS Elemental Delta specify the content to be ingested and define rules about how to ingest it. Each type of content has its own input filter type.

Warning

Sending identical streams to the same input filter can cause the Delta node to become unresponsive.

Delta cannot discern individual streams when multiple identical streams are sent to the same input filter. Instead, it treats them as one stream, which causes content to backup on the system. This backup fills up the disk space and causes Delta to stop running.

If you are sending identical streams, they can't be ingested on the same input filter. You must create a input filters for each stream.

The input filter that you use depends on the type of content that you're sending and how you send it to Delta. Find your input content type below to see what input filters apply.
