Overview

Typically, our team will help you add your data to Datawisp. This is included in every Datawisp subscription, including free trials.

Data is always added to Datawisp via the data page, which you can access on the left sidebar.

The Data Page

To add data, you can use the "Add Data" button. For some data sources, you can find additional help on one of the subpages. And if you have any trouble, please don't hesitate to ask.

Data Dictionaries

After adding your data to Datawisp, we recommend adding a Data Dictionary.

Security

Datawisp always connects to your database via an encrypted connection.

TLS Certificates

Many cloud providers unfortunately do not deploy valid certificates for their databases. In this case, Datawisp will offer you to pin the certificate it receives at import time. After a certificate is pinned, Datawisp will refuse to connect if your database sends a different certificate.

Whitelisting

To allow Datawisp to connect to your database, you may need to whitelist Datawisp's IP in the respective firewall. The current IP is always shown in the add data view.

Add Data View

Please refer to the documentation of your firewall if Datawisp is unable to connect to your database. If you still need help, don't hesitate to reach out to our team.

Private Networks, NATs, Gateways, VPNs, Private Clouds, ...
