Dremio Connector Guide

What problem does it solve?

Many users struggle to correctly configure and troubleshoot data source connections in Dremio because connectors require different parameters, authentication methods, and network setups across Dremio Software and Dremio Cloud. This Skill removes guesswork by guiding an interactive question flow, collecting required credentials and connection details, and linking to the exact connector documentation for precise configuration.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Interactive Question Flow: Step-by-step prompts to determine edition (Software vs Cloud), source category, and connector-specific parameters.
• Connector Guidance: Lists required fields for lakehouse catalogs, object storage, relational databases, and other sources and points to official docs.
• Troubleshooting Checklist: Network, authentication, and parameter debugging steps plus common issue resolutions and REST API tips for programmatic source creation.
• Use Case: Help a user connect an S3-backed Iceberg catalog or a PostgreSQL database by collecting host/port/credentials, validating network access, and providing exact doc links.

Quick Start

Ask the user what edition they are using, which data source type they want to add, and then collect host, port, database/container name, auth method, and any credential values so you can recommend exact connector settings and documentation.
