DataRobot Connectors support providing data to DataRobot and returning the response. Each configured instance of a DataRobot Connector is called a connector.

Overview

The DataRobot Connector sends arbitrary data to DataRobot and returns DataRobot’s unmodified response as a JSON output file. Input files must be CSV, but no further input validation is performed by the connector.

Authentication requires a DataRobot username/password combination, as well as the Deployment ID, DataRobot Key, and Endpoint for the specific DataRobot project to invoke.

Connector Configuration

Settings Tab

Authorization

Settings related to authenticating against the DataRobot service.

• Connector Id The static name of the connector. All connector-specific files are held in a folder by the same name within the Data Directory.
• Connector Description An optional field to provide free-form description of the connector and its role in the flow.
• Username The username credential.
• Password The password credential.

DataRobot Configuration

Settings related to the specific DataRobot project.

• Deployment Id Identifies the deployment to predict.
• DataRobot Key Identifies the DataRobot account associated with the project.
• DataRobot Endpoint The endpoint where the target deployment can be reached.

Automation Settings

Settings related to the automatic processing of files by the connector.

• Send Whether files arriving at the connector will automatically be converted into a DataRobot request.
• Retry Interval The amount of time before a failed send is retried.
• Max Attempts The maximum number of times a failed send will be retried.

Advanced Tab

Miscellaneous

Settings for specific use cases.

• Other Settings Allows configuration of hidden connector settings in a semicolon-separated list, like setting1=value1;setting2=value2. Normal connector use cases and functionality should not require use of these settings.

Performance

Settings related to the allocation of resources to the connector.

• Max Workers The maximum number of worker threads that will be consumed from the threadpool to process files on this connector. If set, overrides the default setting from the Profile tab.
• Max Files The maximum number of files that will be processed by the connector each time worker threads are assigned to the connector. If set, overrides the default setting from the Profile tab.
• Log Messages Whether logs from processed files will include a copy of the file itself.
• Save to Sent Folder Whether files processed by the connector should be copied to the Sent folder for the connector.

Processing Messages

The DataRobot Connector can send arbitrary data to DataRobot and return DataRobot’s unmodified response as a JSON output file. Input files must be CSV, but no further input validation is performed by the connector.

Input Messasges

The DataRobot Connector expects input files to be CSV formatted. You can use the XML Map Connector and the CSV Connector to convert your data to CSV-formatted files that DataRobot can process.

Sample CSV input:

was_delayed,daily_rainfall,did_rain,Carrier Code,Date,Flight Number,Tail Number,Destination Airport,Scheduled Departure Time
true,1.2,true,US,09/10/2019,DL121,N861DA,RDU,1430

Output Messages

While CSV messages are sent to the DataRobot Connector as inputs, the connector produces JSON formatted output messages. The JSON file will contain additional data that has been enriched by DataRobot’s API based on the project you have set up in your account.
