In this section we will specify how connectors communicate with data sources so they can be used by the Dymium Platform. In our example, we are connecting to a PostgreSQL database, though the steps are the same for other database types.
Navigate to Data Source and click the “ADD” tab
Configure the following items:
- Data Source Type
- This dropdown is to select the data source type. In our example PostgreSQL is used
- Dymium name
- This is the name this data source will be called within the Dymium Platform
- Database name
- Provide the database name. Not all database servers require connecting to a database, but PostgreSQL does.
- Use connector instead of direct addressing
- Enable this setting to use the connector configured and deployed earlier
- connector
- Select the connector configured earlier
- Tunnel
- Select the tunnel configured earlier
- Use TLS
- Enable this setting if your database supports TLS
- Username

Click “Apply” and a message will appear letting you know the data source was created successfully.
