Connecting to Remote Datasources

A simple guide to connecting to datasources in Koverse

1. To connect Koverse to a remote data source, you must first have at least one dataset already created

   • Refer to Creating Datasets for more information on creating a new dataset.
   • Refer to Adding Data to Your Datasets for more information on the the first steps to adding data.
   • Additional configuration may be required if you have a firewall between your data source and Koverse. Check Connecting Your Datasources Through a Firewall for additional information.

2. Select “Connect to a Source”.

   

3. From the dropdown, select the source type to which you want to connect.

   

4. For more detailed instructions for each source type, please select one of the following guides.

   • Amazon S3
   • Postgres Database
   • Kafka Streaming
   • URL Datasource

5. Select whether you would like to use ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) on your datasets. See ABAC Attribute Fields for additional information on ABAC Attribute Fields.

   1. If using ABAC, select which type of Attribute Field you will use and input the name of that field as it appears in your data. See the below references for additional information on label parser types:

      • Single Attribute ABAC Label
      • Attribute Expression ABAC Label

   2. Select how you would like to treat records with empty values.

   

6. Select “Import Data”.

   

7. The upload process has now begun and will be running in the background. Upload time will depend on the file size and the use of ABAC within your dataset.
