Create a Klustron Data Source

Add a Klustron data source to NineData for Database DevOps, backup and restore, data replication, database comparison, and other supported features. This guide covers connection mode, endpoint settings, credentials, environment settings, and the connection test.

Before you begin

• The server IP address of NineData has been added to the data source allowlist. The server IP address can be viewed by selecting the target region in Access Region on the Create Datasource page.

  

• Make sure data source quota is available; otherwise, the data source cannot be added. Check the remaining quota in the NineData Console header.

Procedure

1. Sign in to the NineData Console.

2. Go to Datasource > Datasource.

3. Click the Datasource tab, and then click Create Datasource. In the data source type dialog, choose Self-Managed Database > Relational Database > Klustron. On the Create Datasource page, configure the parameters using the table.

   tip

   If you select the wrong type, click the icon at the top of the Create Datasource page to reselect the data source type.

4. Configure the data source parameters:

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Enter a data source name. Use a descriptive name that helps identify the business scope, environment, and purpose of the data source.
   Connection	Select how NineData connects to the data source. The console supports IP Address, Gateway, and SSH Tunnel. IP Address: Connect through a public address. Gateway: Connect to a Klustron instance deployed in a local or internal network through a NineData gateway. SSH Tunnel: Establish an SSH tunnel first, and then connect to Klustron through the tunnel.
   Configuration for IP Address	Host: Enter the public address and port of the Klustron instance. The default port shown in the console is 5401.
   Configuration for Gateway	Gateway: Select an onboarded data source gateway. Host: Enter the Klustron address and port in the gateway network. If the database is deployed on the gateway host, enter localhost.
   Configuration for SSH Tunnel	Enter the public address, port, authentication method, login username, and password or private key file for the tunnel host first. After the tunnel is ready, enter the target Klustron address and port.
   DB Account	Enter the Klustron login username.
   DB Password	Enter the Klustron login password.
   Access Region	Select the access region nearest to the Klustron instance to reduce network latency.
   Environment	Select the environment tag for the data source, such as Production or Development. This tag can be used later for filtering, permission control, and policy binding.

5. After you configure all parameters, click Connection Test next to Create Datasource to test connectivity. When Connection Successfully is displayed, click Create Datasource to create the data source. Otherwise, review the connection settings and run the test again.

Result

After the connection test succeeds and you create the data source, it appears in the data source list. Use it in NineData features that support Klustron.
