Connector

This section describes the connector component that your service may need to implement and provides brief step-by-step instructions in the interactive Python shell. If you don’t have Python installed, you can get it from https://www.python.org/downloads/.

To enable the data exchange between your service and Acronis Cyber Platform, you must create a connector to push or pull the necessary data to/from Acronis Cyber Platform.

The following diagram shows the connector as an independent component and its relation between your service and Acronis Cyber Platform:

The purpose of the connector may depend on the type of integration.

For example:

  • An outbound CyberApp might pull Acronis Cyber Platform workloads, alerts, etc., to replicate them in your service for further processing.

  • An inbound CyberApp might pull Acronis Cyber platform users and their access rights to provision them on your service, enable the service, and push your service events, alerts, etc., to Acronis Cyber Platform.
