Connecting to decube is as easy as providing us with credentials to your MySQL database. At a minimum, we require
username
password
host address
host port
database name

The source name
will be for you to differentiate and recognize particular sources within the decube application.
We strongly encourage you to create a decube read-only user for this credential purpose, which you can follow here.
Security Concerns
If access to your database is protected by security measures, we allow for connecting via SSH Tunneling or you could whitelist our IP. See more here.
Custom User for decube
A custom user would allow for a granular configuration of the user on your database and your connection to decube.
Create the user, and change
host
andpassword
accordingly.
CREATE USER 'decube'@'<host>' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
Grant access to the decube user. Here
table

if you're using decube to observe the whole database. For only a few tables, you'll have to run this command multiple times changing thetable
value.
GRANT SELECT ON <database>.<table> TO 'decube'@'<host>';
Use your own SSL CA Cert

If your database enforces SSL connection, you can provide your own CA Cert file by choosing Use Customer CA Cert
and uploading a CA Cert.
This works for AWS RDS Aurora MySQL instances as well. To see where to retrieve your Aurora certificates, please use this guide from AWS
