• Choose the data entity as  Offline Events.
• Provide name to the file source

Once done, click on Next.

In order to setup the connection successfully, kindly download the file which help you understand the overall structure in which you need to get the data setup. Once done, take the downloaded file set-up in a GCP bucket and add credentials in the next step.

This is the most important step where the user needs to provide the Google cloud

credentials which will help Datahash to access the file for further processing. These

credentials are:

1. GCP Bucket Name: The name of the bucket you created on the Google Cloud Storage Console.
2. GCP JSON Key: A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) JSON key is a credential that allows a user to authenticate and access resources that a service account has been granted access to.
3. Relative path to data folder: A path like prefix name where you have stored the data in the GCP Bucket like ‘my folder/this table’

Once all the credentials are provided, Datahash will validate the credentials, after which the connection will be successfully setup – if all the credentials are valid.

Once done, click on Validate credentials.

Click Finish to complete the setup.

  You can see the connected instance in the dashboard.  

Adding New Instances and Editing Existing Instances:

Start the same setup as done above by selecting the data entity and other required fields.

Once done, click on Next.
