Both Metabase Cloud or self-hosted Metabase are supported.
To connect Dot to Metabase, follow these steps:
Metabase allows the creation of API keys to authenticate programmatic requests. To generate an API key:
Click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of Metabase.
Select Admin settings.
Navigate to the Settings tab.
Click on the Authentication tab in the left-hand menu.
Scroll to the API Keys section and click Manage.
Click the Create API Key button.
Enter a descriptive Key name to identify its purpose.
Select a Group to assign the key, determining its permissions.
Click Create.
Copy the generated API key and store it securely, as Metabase will not display it again.
Identify the base URL of your Metabase instance. This is typically in the format http://your-metabase-domain.com or https://your-metabase-domain.com.
In Dot, provide the Metabase Server URL and the API key you generated:
Open Dot and navigate to Settings / Connections.
Select the option to connect to Metabase.
Enter the Server URL (your Metabase base URL).
Input the API Key obtained from Metabase.
Click Connect to establish the integration.
Once connected, Dot will synchronize with Metabase. As soon as it's done, you can head over to Model / External assets to further curate what Dot should know about.
Note: Ensure that the API key has appropriate permissions assigned through its associated group in Metabase to allow Dot to access the necessary data.
