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. Go to your deployment, and click Data Integration from the left menu to access the Data Integration page.
  2. 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 one by clicking the New Connector button in the top right corner of the connector list.
  3. Fill in the corresponding resource configuration and click the Test button. A success prompt will be displayed if the connection is successful, and you can click to view it. If it fails, check the connector configuration.
