Connectors

Connectors define the data sources that Bigeye agents connect to. Each connector type has specific configuration requirements (credentials, hostnames, etc.) that the Agent CLI walks you through interactively.

Adding Connectors

# Interactive — prompts for connector type
./bigeye-agent add-connector

# Specify connector type directly
./bigeye-agent add-connector -c snowflake
./bigeye-agent add-connector -c tableau

# Add multiple connector types at once
./bigeye-agent add-connector -c snowflake -c bigquery

# Import from an existing properties file
./bigeye-agent add-connector -c snowflake --from-existing /path/to/snowflake.properties

# Skip connection validation
./bigeye-agent add-connector -c snowflake --skip-validation

Option	Description
`--connector`, `-c`	Connector type (e.g., `snowflake`, `databricks`). Can be specified multiple times. If omitted, you'll be prompted.
`--from-existing`, `-fe`	Path to an existing properties file to import configuration from. Only works with a single connector type.
`--skip-validation`, `-sv`	Skip validation of connector configuration during setup.

Editing Connectors

# Interactive — prompts for connector type and connection
./bigeye-agent edit-connector

# Specify connector type
./bigeye-agent edit-connector -c snowflake

The edit-connector command removes the existing connection configuration and walks you through setup again. After editing, agent configuration files are regenerated and the agent is restarted.

Modifying Connectors via YAML

You can also edit connector configuration directly in bigeye_agent.yml. After editing, run:

./bigeye-agent sync

This regenerates the agent configuration files from the updated YAML.
