Hi,

I created a runtime web-action that ll fetch events from journal api like this

const journalObservable = await client.getEventsObservableFromJournal(baseURL, journalOptions);
  journalObservable.subscribe(
    x => logger.log('onNext: ' + JSON.stringify(x)), // any action onNext event
    e => logger.error('onError: ' + e.message), // any action onError
    () => logger.log('onCompleted')) //action onComplete

I am able to invoke the web action from postman. And when I publish events into the journal api, my logs read the events from journal successfully.

Now the web action stays alive like 1-2 mins. Then dies. So if event is published say after 5 mins, those events are not received. Is this expected?

Alternate I could think is, create as non-web-action using alarm. And cron trigger the action every say 5 mins. Is this correct that "Reading journal events must be created as non-web-action using alarm cron?"

This is correct.
It can be a web action too using an alarm.
