Connections

The Connections page allows you to set up and manage integrations between Lumea and external services or data sources.

Overview

The Connections dashboard provides a central location to manage all your external service integrations:

Managing Connections

In the Connections list, you can:

• View all configured service connections
• See when each connection was last updated
• Add new connections to extend platform functionality
• Edit or delete existing connections as needed

Adding a New Connection

To add a new connection:

1. Navigate to the Connections page
2. Click the "+ New Connection" button in the upper right corner
3. Enter the Service ID for the external service
4. Provide the Connection Data in YAML format with the necessary authentication details
5. Click "Create" to establish the connection

Connection Data Format

The Connection Data field accepts YAML formatted configuration that typically includes:

• API keys or access tokens
• Endpoint URLs
• Authentication parameters
• Service-specific configuration options

Example of a typical connection configuration:

api_key: your_api_key_here
endpoint: https://api.service.com/v1
timeout: 30
retry_attempts: 3

Supported Services

Lumea supports connections to various external services, including:

• Language model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
• Vector databases
• External knowledge bases
• Custom APIs
• Data storage services

Connection Security

For security reasons:

• Connection credentials are encrypted at rest
• Access to connection details is restricted based on user permissions
• Sensitive connection information is never exposed in logs or traces

Best Practices

For optimal connection management:

• Use descriptive service IDs for easy identification
• Regularly verify and update connection credentials
• Monitor connection usage and performance
• Follow the principle of least privilege when configuring service access
