Datasource

A Datasource is a set of parameters (metadata) identifying a connection to a storage system.

Datasource Management

You can access the datasource management panel from the sidebar menu:

^{View datasources from the sidebar menu}

Viewing Datasources

Once you open the datasource management panel, you will see the list of available datasources, which can be:

• Created by the user, or
• Created automatically by the system, e.g.
  • public: available to all authenticated users of the platform
  • <username-bucket>: private for the authenticated user
  • <team-name>: available to all users belonging to the respective Team

^{View the list of datasources}

For each of the datasources shown, it will be possible (based on the permissions held):

• Verify the stability of the connection to it
• Modify
• Delete

Registration / Modification of Datasource

From the datasource management panel you can:

• Register a new datasource by clicking on + Register Data Source in the top right
• Modify an existing datasource by clicking on the relative icon ()

In both cases, the datasource registration/modification form will open:

^{Datasource creation/modification form}

During completion, you will need to initially populate the fields:

• Name
• Description
• Access Level
• Type
  • Message Broker: for streaming type datasources
  • Object Storage: for object stores like e.g. MinIO or S3
  • Tabular Storage: like e.g. MySQL
  • FileSystem Storage
• Driver:
  • If Type = Object Storage, then Driver = "minio"
  • If Type = Message Broker, then Driver = "kafka"
  • For other Type, then Driver = "any"

Subsequently, based on the selected datasource Type, additional fields will appear.

For Message Broker:
