The Connectors tab in the Configuration > Connections workspace displays all configured data connectors. A connector is a scheduled job that collects data from a connected service and imports it into Raynet One. Each connector defines what data to collect, when to collect it, and which runner to use.
Access
Navigate to Configuration > Connections > Connectors in the sidebar.

Adding a connector
Click Add... in the toolbar or Add Connector in the empty-state view to open the Add Connector wizard. The wizard guides you through the following steps:
STEP |
DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
1. Connector type |
Select the connector type. The wizard shows a Featured connectors section at the top with highlighted connectors (Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and VMware vSphere) and an All connectors section below. Use the search box in the All connectors section to filter connectors by name. Each connector entry shows the connector logo, a short description, and the data categories it imports. Use the Preview connectors are hidden toggle to include preview connectors in the list. |
2. Import options |
Select the import scope for the chosen connector type. This step is only shown for connector types that support predefined import profiles. For the Active Directory connector, the following profiles are available: •Basic: Import devices only — the essentials to get started. •Standard: Devices and accounts — link assets to the accounts that use them. •Full: Everything: devices, users, and full group membership trees. •Custom: Define import scope and filters to match your exact needs. |
3. Connector settings |
Configure the connection settings specific to the selected connector type. This step is only shown for connector types that require a dedicated configuration step. For the Active Directory connector, provide the following: •Distinguished name: The domain name of the Active Directory domain to scan (for example, ad.example.com). •Credentials: Select the credentials to authenticate with the Active Directory. Click Add... to create new credentials if none are available yet. |
4. Job details |
Configure the job execution settings. Under When to run, choose how and when the connector should execute: •Run now: The connector executes immediately after creation. •Schedule it: Set up a recurring schedule for automatic data collection. •Save only: Save the connector without running or scheduling it. You can trigger it manually from the Connector Details page at any time. Under Advanced settings, optionally select a preferred runner for this connector job. Set to On to specify custom settings for this job. If set to Off, the general configuration is applied. |
5. Summary |
Review all configured settings before creating the connector. Click Next to confirm and create the connector, or click Back to revise previous steps. |
6. Progress |
The wizard connects to the external service and creates the connector. This step completes automatically when the connection is established. |
7. Triggered |
The connector has been created. If you selected Run now, the first data collection job is started immediately. Click View Details to open the Connector Details page, or close the wizard to return to the Connectors overview. |
