Connect a Data Source

A datasource is an entity, such as an Apache Pinot instance. Data sources must be registered in ThirdEye to enable ThirdEye to use them. A datasource can have many datasets which are like tables. Those datasets can have many metrics.

Currently ThirdEye supports connecting with Apache Pinot. To connect to other data sources, reach out to StarTree (opens in a new tab).

To connect with StarTree Extensions, Pinot SQL and Pinot, use the following links:

• Managed Pinot
• Pinot SQL
• Pinot
