Metabase

Nekt has already completed the entire process to ensure that your data, generated in different places, is organized all together. Now it’s time to connect this data to a visualization tool, where you can effectively work with it and generate meaningful visuals.

If your tool for data visualization is Metabase, here’s the guide to create the connection.

First of all, let us know you are going to use Metabase! Then we’ll provide you with some necessary credentials. We are working to give you automatic access to it through Nekt platform and will let you know as soon as we have it!

​

1. Select Amazon Athena as your database

In case it’s your first time using Metabase, there will be an option for you to choose your database during the platform’s onboarding.

If you already have your Metabase account set up, you have to go to Admin settings (find it on the gear icon menu), choose the Databases tab and then click on the button to Add a database.

In both cases, choose Amazon Athena as your database - this is the service Nekt uses to make your data available - and the fields to set it up will appear right below it.

​

2. Add connection details

Fill in requested information with your company credentials.

💡 Don’t forget to ask for your credentials through our Slack channel! For the Display Name field, you can choose one of your preference - something like Nekt Catalog if you want a suggestion.

​

3. Save and explore

Click on the Save button and you should be ready to go and explore your data!
