Connector

Connectors are used to connect EMQX Platform to cloud resources, which are services provided by cloud service providers or services operated by yourself. Connectors are only concerned with the connection to cloud resources, and users can create different connectors for different cloud resources.

Create a Connector

Prerequisite

Before creating a connector, make sure the current deployment is running.

1. If you are creating a connector for the first time, select the resource you want to connect to on the Data Integration Connectors page, such as Kafka. If you have created connectors before, you can create a new connector by clicking the New Connector button in the upper right corner of the page.
2. Fill in the corresponding resource configuration and click the Test button. If the connection is successful, a success prompt will be displayed, and you can click to view it. If it fails, check the connector configuration.
