ClickHouse Integration

Guide for Resmo ClickHouse integration

Resmo seamlessly integrates with ClickHouse, allowing you to effortlessly collect directory assets such as users, schemas, and tables from your ClickHouse database. It empowers you with the ability to query ClickHouse users, schemas, tables, and more while also providing the flexibility to establish custom rules and execute custom SQL queries, ultimately enhancing asset visibility and ensuring a safe and compliant ClickHouse environment.

What does Resmo offer to ClickHouse users?

• Collect your directory assets like users, schemas, and tables from your ClickHouse database.

• Ability to query your ClickHouse users, schemas, tables, and much more.

• Set up custom rules and run custom SQL queries to improve asset visibility.

How does the integration work?

Resmo ClickHouse Integration collects resources by using our database agent. After you create, integrate, and set the configurations specified in the How to Install section, the database agent starts operating. Once triggered, it sends requests to our servers, pulling resources inside the database.

Then, we process them on the server. You can use the database agent as a binary or docker image, depending on your chosen installation path. Resmo performs the resource validation with a unique IngestKey. Note: An IngestKey is different for each integration.
