Connector Configuration

Learn how to create connectors, configure credentials, and validate connections.

Creating a Connector​

To create a new connector:

  1. Navigate to Connectors: Go to the Integration (Connectors) section
  2. Click "New Integration": Start the connector creation process
  3. Select Connector Type: Choose the type of connector (S3, Oracle, etc.)
  4. Configure Connection: Enter connection details
  5. Configure Credentials: Set up authentication
  6. Validate Connection: Test the connection
  7. Save Connector: Save the connector configuration

Connector Requirements:

  • Name: Unique name for the connector
  • Type: Connector type (S3, Oracle, etc.)
  • Credentials: Valid authentication credentials
  • Connection Details: Required connection parameters

Credential Configuration​

Configure credentials securely for your connectors:

Credential Types:

  • Access Keys: For S3-compatible storage
  • Username/Password: For database connections
  • API Keys: For API-based connectors
  • OAuth Tokens: For OAuth-based authentication

Security Features:

  • Encrypted Storage: Credentials stored encrypted
  • No Plain Text: Credentials never displayed in plain text
  • Access Control: Role-based access to credentials
  • Rotation Support: Support for credential rotation

Best Practices:

  • Use least-privilege credentials
  • Rotate credentials regularly
  • Use separate credentials per environment
  • Monitor credential usage

Endpoint Configuration​

Configure endpoints for your connectors:

S3-Compatible Endpoints:

  • Endpoint URL: S3-compatible endpoint
  • Region: AWS region (if applicable)
  • Bucket: S3 bucket name
  • Path Prefix: Optional path prefix

Database Endpoints:

  • Host: Database host address
  • Port: Database port number
  • Database Name: Target database
  • Service Name: Oracle service name (if applicable)

Endpoint Validation:

  • Automatic endpoint validation
  • Connection testing
  • Network reachability checks
  • Authentication verification

Connection Validation​

Validate connector connections before saving:

Validation Steps:

  1. Test Connection: Test basic connectivity
  2. Verify Credentials: Verify authentication works
  3. Check Permissions: Verify access permissions
  4. Test Data Access: Test reading sample data
  5. Validate Schema: Validate schema detection

Validation Results:

  • Success: Connection validated successfully
  • Failed: Connection failed with error details
  • Warning: Connection works but with warnings

Common Validation Issues:

  • Invalid credentials
  • Network connectivity issues
  • Insufficient permissions
  • Incorrect endpoint configuration
