Connectors Page (Magic xpi 4.13)
The Connectors page lists connectors which are stored in the Connectors storage and are ready to be deployed to hosts where Agent Services are running. A user can also upload Connectors from his machine or network to the Connectors storage.
The page provides a filter to search the Connectors based on the pre-defined criteria. The filters available are for Connector Name, Version, Runtime Technology, Has Step, and Has Trigger.
The Upload Connector button provides the user a functionality to upload the connector to the Local Agent Management Server's Connectors storage.
The connectors built with the Local Agent Compatible=True field in the Connector SDK can only be uploaded. The Local Agent Compatible field in the Connector metadata ensures that it has a resource with predefined parameters needed for Local Agent.
The Runtime technology of connectors should be either Java or .NET. Connectors with Runtime Technology as Magic xpa are not supported.
