Apache Superset is a web-based application for exploring and visualizing data. Connect it to an e6data cluster using the e6data Python connector and a SQLAlchemy URI.
Requirements
- The latest e6data Python package.
- The latest version of Apache Superset.
- The connection details from the cluster’s Connection Information tab.
The SQLAlchemy URI for a Direct endpoint:
For a TLS endpoint:
The token is a personal access token.
Connect
- In Superset, go to Settings → Database Connections.
- Click + Database and choose Other from the supported databases.
- In the SQLAlchemy URI field, enter the URI above, replacing the placeholders with your credentials.
- Click Test Connection.
- After a successful test, click Connect.
TLS/HTTPS
e6data uses globally trusted certificates, so the host and port from the connection dialog are sufficient. Any cluster requiring authentication also requires TLS/HTTPS - use the cluster’s HTTPS URL (only required for TLS connectivity endpoints).
