Explo Integration
This page describes how to configure and use Explo with Rockset.
Introduction
Explo offers a user-friendly interface for building interactive dashboards and data applications. Leverage Explo Dashboards to integrate analytics directly into your web portal or application and take advantage of the Explo Report Builder to provide self-service reporting tools to your customers.
[NEW] One-Click Integration
If you do not have an existing Explo account under your Rockset email address, you can use the Explo one-click integration to quickly set up an account.
- Navigate to the Explo page in the Catalog under "Visualization".
- Create an integration by either creating a new API key or inputting an existing API key. The API key must have at least the privileges associated with a read-only role.
- Once you connect, you will receive an email from Explo with next steps on setting up your account.
[Previous] Manual Setup
Before starting you will need to sign up for an Explo account.
- Get credentials from Rockset. Create and save a new API Key by navigating to the API Keys tab of the Rockset Console.
