​

Basic Settings

​

Datadog integration

You can configure hotglue to push job events (success or failures) directly to your Datadog events to maintain observability in one platform. To configure, head to your Environment Job Settings, and configure your Datadog Region and API Key.

Once these settings are saved, hotglue will automatically begin pushing job events to your Datadog account!

​

Slack integration

For a simpler notification system, you can configure a free Slack app to get notified about failed jobs.

1. Create a free Slack app.
2. Paste your new incoming webhook URL into hotglue. This URL will look something like this:

https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

​

Custom storage

In certain cases you may want to snapshot or cache the data that hotglue processes during a specific sync job. By default this is done using hotglue’s infrastructure, but you can configure this to be done using your own AWS S3 buckets.

To store either the snapshot or cache data in your own S3 bucket, you need to:

1. Create an S3 bucket that hotglue will use during jobs
2. Create an IAM user for hotglue to access this S3 bucket with programmatic credentials (Access Key Id / Secret Access Key pair)
3. Create an IAM permission policy and attach it to the IAM user. The policy should be as follows:

{
	"Sid": "VisualEditor0",
	"Effect": "Allow",
	"Action": [
		"s3:DeleteObject",
		"s3:GetObject",
		"s3:PutObject",
		"s3:PutObjectAcl",
		"s3:ListBucket"
	],
	"Resource": [
		"arn:aws:s3:::<bucket name>",
		"arn:aws:s3:::<bucket name>/*",
		"arn:aws:s3:::<bucket name>",
		"arn:aws:s3:::<bucket name>/*"
	]
}

1. Finally, you can save the bucket name, access key id, and secret access key to your hotglue settings, as pictured below:

​

Private Repositories

If you are interested in using proprietary Taps and Targets that are hosted in private repositories, you can add a GitHub or GitLab access token to your Hotglue environment. This token should have read permissions on the relevant repositories.

To mark a connector as requiring the use of this token, use the is_private_repo connector setting.

​

AWS VPC Sharing

​

Overview

On our enterprise tier we offer the ability to leverage Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) sharing.

By leveraging a shared VPC setup, data transfers between your system and hotglue remain private and secure, avoiding exposure over the public internet.

​

Prerequisites

To use this feature, ensure you have the following:

1. AWS Account: Administrator access to manage VPC and S3 resources.
2. VPC Sharing Permissions: Confirm that your organization allows setting up VPC sharing.

​

Step 1: Receive VPC Information from hotglue

Your hotglue account manager will provide the following details:

• VPC ID
• Subnet IDs
• Route table information
• Security group configuration

​

Step 2: Establish VPC Peering Connection

1. Navigate to the VPC Dashboard in your AWS Management Console.
2. Select Peering Connections and click Create Peering Connection.
3. Provide the following details:
   • Requester VPC: Select your existing VPC.
   • Accepter VPC: Enter the VPC ID provided by hotglue.
4. Click Create Peering Connection.
5. Notify hotglue so they can accept the peering request on their side.

​

Step 3: Update Route Tables

1. In the VPC Dashboard, go to Route Tables.
2. Select the route table associated with your VPC.
3. Click Edit Routes and add a new route:
   • Destination: CIDR block provided by hotglue.
   • Target: Select the peering connection created in Step 2.
4. Save the route.

​

Step 4: Configure Security Groups

1. Go to Security Groups in the VPC Dashboard.
2. Select the security group associated with your resources.
3. Click Edit Inbound Rules and add a rule to allow traffic from the hotglue VPC.
   • Type: Custom TCP Rule (or as per your application needs)
   • Protocol: TCP
   • Port Range: Define required ports, e.g.
     1. 443 for HTTPS
     2. 3306 for MySQL
   • Source: hotglue-provided CIDR block
4. Save the changes.
