Article summary

EchoStream provides a substantial list of Message Types to all Tenants in the EchoStream Cloud. These Message Types are managed and maintained by EchoStream. You may use them in your Tenant, but you are not allowed to modify or delete them, nor are you allowed to create new System Message Types.

The names of all System Message Types are prefixed with echo..

EchoStream is constantly adding to the list of System Message Types.

Message Types provided by EchoStream fall into three categories:

Generic Types

Generic Message Types specify a generic format for the data without layering on a specific organization of that data. Messages of these Message Types will be well-formed, but will not carry any additional information about the data contained therein.

EchoStream provides echo.binary, echo.csv, echo.json, echo.text, echo.toml, echo.xml, and echo.yaml as Generic Message Types.

EchoStream Types

EchoStream provides a number of Message Types that are emitted or used by specialized Nodes in your Tenant. While messages of these Types may also be created by you, in most cases you will simply be receiving and processing these from EchoStream managed Nodes.

Message Types in this catagory are almost always JSON-based formats.

EchoStream provides echo.alert, echo.audit, echo.change, echo.file, echo.log, and echo.timer as EchoStream Message Types.

Standards-based Types

EchoStream provides a variety of Message Types that implement industry-specific standards.

EchoStream adds Message Types to this category on a regular basis; if you require a standards-based Message Type please contact EchoStream support to get it added to the product roadmap.

Currently, EchoStream provides echo.aws-eventbridge, echo.dicom-json, echo.fhir-json, echo.fhir-xml, echo.hl7, echo.hl7-batch, echo.hl7-file, echo.hl7-json, echo.hl7-toml and echo.hl7-yaml as Standards-based Message Types.
