How to set up the on-premises gateway
Query databases inside your network without opening inbound ports: install the Windows gateway, register it with a single-use token, and route datasources through it. Narrated.
The steps
- 1When a database sits behind your firewall, the AI Insights Gateway lets the cloud query it without opening any inbound ports, and without exposing the database to the internet.
- 2An admin sets it up once, from Settings, Manage Gateways. Download the Windows installer, and run it on a server that can reach your data sources.
- 3Then generate a registration token and paste it into the gateway during setup. Each token works once, and expires after 24 hours.
- 4Registered gateways appear in this list, with their status and last heartbeat, and credentials are encrypted with AES-256.
- 5Then, when you connect an on-premises database, turn on Route via Gateway and choose it. The query runs on your server, and only the results come back.
