Compatible with Fusion version: 4.0.0 through 5.12.0The File Upload V1 connector provides a convenient way to quickly ingest data from a single uploaded file. It can crawl exactly one file from Fusion’s Blob Store and feed it through an index pipeline.
ImportantV1 deprecation and removal noticeStarting in Fusion 5.12.0, all V1 connectors are deprecated. This means they are no longer being actively developed and will be removed in Fusion 5.13.0.The replacement for this connector is the Local Filesystem V2 connector.If you are using this connector, you must migrate to the replacement connector or a supported alternative before upgrading to Fusion 5.13.0. We recommend migrating to the replacement connector as soon as possible to avoid any disruption to your workflows.
Prerequisites
Perform these prerequisites to ensure the connector can reliably access, crawl, and index your data. Proper setup helps avoid configuration or permission errors, so use the following guidelines to keep your content available for discovery and search in Fusion.- Install the connector plugin. Create a File Upload (V1) datasource under Indexing > Datasources > Add+ > File Upload.
- You must have a file uploaded to Fusion’s Blob Store using one of the following methods:
- Upload through System > Blobs > Add > Upload File. Note the file ID, as this is entered in the connector’s File ID field when setting up the connector.
- Upload the file when adding the connector as a datasource by selecting it through Choose File under FILE UPLOAD. This automatically populates the file ID field using the name of the file.
Authentication
The File Upload V1 connector does not require any external HTTP or token-based authentication. You use afileId that is already uploaded to the Blob Store, and Fusion ingests it directly.
Configuration
When entering configuration values in the UI, use unescaped characters, such as
\t for the tab character. When entering configuration values in the API, use escaped characters, such as \\t for the tab character.
