Creating a Topic

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Topics list page, select Create Topic. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing Topics.
  2. In the Create Topic panel, enter a user-friendly name and an optional description for the topic.
     Note
     
     The topic name appears in confirmation messages for new subscriptions and in messages published to some subscription types, such as email.

     The name is required and must be unique across the tenancy. Validation is case-sensitive. The description is optional. Avoid entering confidential information.

  3. To show tagging options, select Show advanced options.
     If you have permissions to create a resource, then you also have permissions to apply free-form tags to that resource. To apply a defined tag, you must have permissions to use the tag namespace. For more information about tagging, see Resource Tags. If you're not sure whether to apply tags, skip this option or ask an administrator. You can apply tags later.
  4. To add a defined tag, select the namespace and key, then enter a value.
  5. To add a free-form tag, enter a key and value.
  6. Select Create.

  The new topic is immediately available and in the active state.
