Creating On-Premise Connectors

On-Premise connectors are software components that allow you to securely connect data from an on-prem or local system up to Lucy running on cloud.

Connectors let you communicate with systems that are not directly accessible to Lucy on cloud. It can also be used to implement any custom logic or business rules that cannot be implemented directly in Lucy.

Even though we call it 'on-prem' it can be used to also deploy a connector that talks to any cloud system and communicates with Lucy. Lucy can also be running in a data center or on-prem - just as long as there is network connectivity from the on-premise agent to Lucy it will work.

The connector is a piece of software that is built using the Lucy On-Prem Connector SDK.

This module will go through the process of building a basic connector.

How it works

To use a connector, you need to install the connector agent within the building on a compatible computer, and configure it to communicate with your Lucy account using the Lucy account's url and api key. Once done, you can then build integrations on Lucy that talk to your connector.
