Remote V2 Connectors
This article describes features or functionality that are only compatible with Fusion 5.6 and later. |
Remote V2 connectors let you index data behind firewalls. Fusion uses gRPC over HTTP/2 communication to bridge between firewalled on-premises remote connectors and Fusion clusters. This page explains some of the concepts around remote connectors. For configuration, refer to Configure Remote V2 Connectors.
Connector compatibility
Only V2 connectors are able to run remotely on-premises. You also need the remote connector client JAR file that matches your Fusion version. You can download the latest files at V2 Connectors Downloads.
Whenever you upgrade Fusion, you must also update your remote connectors to match the new version of Fusion. |
Firewall configuration best practices
You can use a forward proxy server to allow HTTP/2 communication into the Fusion cloud. A forward proxy server acts as an intermediary between the firewalled connector and Fusion and will only allow specified communication traffic and block unauthorized traffic.
Asynchronous parsing
This feature is available in Fusion 5.9 and later. |
To separate document crawling from document parsing, enable Tika Asynchronous Parsing on remote V2 connectors.
