Configuration

​

Refresh strategy

Each connector requires a defined refresh strategy that determines how data synchronization is handled.

​

Available Strategies

replace

• Replaces entire dataset on each refresh interval
• Best for complete dataset synchronization
• Use when maintaining historical data is not required

append

• Adds new records to existing dataset
• Maintains historical data
• Ideal for time-series or log data
• Best when tracking data changes over time

​

Error Handling

Connectors implement automatic retry logic and provide detailed error messages for common issues:

• Connection timeouts
• Authentication failures
• Schema validation errors
• Rate limiting
