Note

Do not use the Google Chrome auto-fill feature for credentials when creating an Account that will be used by an ELT Snap. Auto-filled credentials—such as usernames, passwords, client secrets, auth codes and tokens, secret keys, and keystores use encrypted values that the SnapLogic Platform cannot read, resulting in Pipeline failures. SnapLogic recommends that you do not use Chrome to save Account credentials. If Chrome has already stored the credentials for that endpoint, delete them for elastic.snaplogic.com, and perform ONE of the following actions:

  • Option 1: Click the key that appears in the address bar after you submit your login credentials at elastic.snaplogic.com, and click Never

  • Option 2: Disable the Offer to save Passwords option at chrome://settings/passwords when working with your SnapLogic Pipelines. If you disable this option, your Chrome browser will not remember your passwords on any other website.

Info

The names of assets, projects, or project spaces are limited to UTF-8 alphanumeric characters and these special characters: !"$%&'()*+,-.:;<=>@[]^_`{|}~.

Prerequisites

  • Write permissions for the SnapLogic Project in which to create the Account.

  • All of the values necessary to access the endpoint, such as hostname or server path, username, and credentials.

...

To create an Account from SnapLogic Manager:

  1. In the left navigation tree, expand Project Spaces.

  2. Navigate to your project space and click the shared folder or the project in which to create an account.
    All project assets display. 

  3. Perform one of the following:

    • With the All tab selected, click (blue star) in the toolbar, and select Account.

    • Select the Accounts tab, and click (blue star) in the toolbar. 

  4. From the dropdown menu, select the type of Account. Some types have multiple options.
    For example, to create an Account to connect to Google Analytics, you can choose between Dynamic OAuth2 and OAuth2:

  5. Enter the information required to connect to the account. The Snap Reference describes the fields for each type of supported data source. If your Org uses Secrets Management, <add xref>

  6. If the Account type supports validation, click Validate to make sure the connection succeeds.

  7. Click Apply to save the Account.

The Account is available for use in Pipelines in the same project folder.
