### Constructor
| Chaining Method | Description |
|:---------|:---------|
| **[stream](#descr)** | Has no constructor signature. |
### Property Methods
This node has no properties that can be set.
### Chaining Methods
[Deadman](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stream_node/#deadman), [From](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stream_node/#from), [Stats](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stream_node/#stats)

### Description
A [StreamNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stream_node/) represents the source of data being
streamed to Kapacitor through any of its inputs.
The `stream` variable in stream tasks is an instance of
a [StreamNode.](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stream_node/)
[StreamNode.From](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stream_node/#from) is the method/property of this node.

Chaining Methods
----------------
Chaining methods create a new node in the pipeline as a child of the calling node.
They do not modify the calling node.
Chaining methods are marked using the `|` operator.
### Deadman
Helper function for creating an alert on low throughput, a.k.a. deadman's switch.
- Threshold -- trigger alert if throughput drops below threshold in points/interval.
- Interval -- how often to check the throughput.
- Expressions -- optional list of expressions to also evaluate. Useful for time of day alerting.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
The above is equivalent to this
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|stats(10s)
.align()
|derivative('emitted')
.unit(10s)
.nonNegative()
|alert()
.id('node \'stream0\' in task \'{{ .TaskName }}\'')
.message('{{ .ID }} is {{ if eq .Level "OK" }}alive{{ else }}dead{{ end }}: {{ index .Fields "emitted" | printf "%0.3f" }} points/10s.')
.crit(lambda: "emitted" <= 100.0)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
The `id` and `message` alert properties can be configured globally via the 'deadman' configuration section.
Since the [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/) is the last piece it can be further modified as usual.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s)
.slack()
.channel('#dead_tasks')
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
You can specify additional lambda expressions to further constrain when the deadman's switch is triggered.
Example:
```javascript
var data = stream
|from()...
// Trigger critical alert if the throughput drops below 100 points per 10s and checked every 10s.
// Only trigger the alert if the time of day is between 8am-5pm.
data
|deadman(100.0, 10s, lambda: hour("time") >= 8 AND hour("time") <= 17)
//Do normal processing of data
data...
```
```javascript
stream|deadman(threshold float64, interval time.Duration, expr ...ast.LambdaNode)
```
Returns: [AlertNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/alert_node/)

### From
Creates a new [FromNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/from_node/) that can be further
filtered using the Database, RetentionPolicy, Measurement and Where properties.
From can be called multiple times to create multiple
independent forks of the data stream.
Example:
```javascript
// Select the 'cpu' measurement from just the database 'mydb'
// and retention policy 'myrp'.
var cpu = stream
|from()
.database('mydb')
.retentionPolicy('myrp')
.measurement('cpu')
// Select the 'load' measurement from any database and retention policy.
var load = stream
|from()
.measurement('load')
// Join cpu and load streams and do further processing.
cpu
|join(load)
.as('cpu', 'load')
...
```
```javascript
stream|from()
```
Returns: [FromNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/from_node/)

### Stats
Create a new stream of data that contains the internal statistics of the node.
The interval represents how often to emit the statistics based on real time.
This means the interval time is independent of the times of the data points the source node is receiving.
```javascript
stream|stats(interval time.Duration)
```
Returns: [StatsNode](/kapacitor/v1.4/nodes/stats_node/)
