- From the drop-down menu, select the connector.
Enter the details in the following fields:- Connection Name: Example, My S3 Custom Bucket.
- Credentials of your S3 bucket like Bucket Name, Access Key, and Security Token. Ensure that you enter valid credentials to establish an S3 connection.
- Click TEST CONNECTION to validate the S3 connection. If the credentials of your S3 bucket are correct and valid, it displays the success message, Connection Successful. If not, it displays an error message, Connection failed.
- Click CREATE. A connection to your S3 bucket is established successfully.
You can now configure an S3 Dataset in a Rule or Data Designer and load usage data into Gainsight through Adoption Explorer, from the established S3 connection.
