Integrating ThoughtSpot with Curator

If your InterWorks Portal has the ThoughtSpot plugin, you can follow this guide to connect to your ThoughtSpot instance.

Preparing ThoughtSpot

1. Verify your ThoughtSpot admin has enabled either SAML SSO or trusted authentication. If you are using trusted authentication, have the secret_key ready to add to the Curator configuration.
2. Verify your ThoughtSpot admin has configured your Curator domain to be whitelisted for CORS and CSP.
3. Have the credentials for a user with administrator access ready to add to the Curator configuration.

Connect to Curator

1. Go to the backend of your Curator instance. Navigate to Integrations > Connections using the left-hand menu.
2. Click the new New Connection button on the top of the page.
3. Enter a name for the connection (something like "ThoughtSpot" is sufficient) and edit the slug if you'd like (but you don't need to).
4. Choose "ThoughtSpot in the Platform dropdown. If the option is disabled you either don't have a sufficient license or there is already a ThoughtSpot Connection created. If your license isn't sufficient reach out to your friendly Curator contact to ask about upgrading!
5. Fill out the form that appears below the Platform dropdown:
   • ThoughtSpot URL: The full URL to for your ThoughtSpot instance. e.g. https://example.thoughtspot.cloud
   • REST Connection Username: The username for a ThoughtSpot administrator.
   • REST Connection Password: The password for a ThoughtSpot administrator.
   • Use Trusted Authentication?: If you don't have SAML enabled for your ThoughtSpot environment you need to use trusted authentication. Flip this switch on to enable it.
   • Trusted Authentication Secret Key: Enter the secret key your ThoughtSpot admin received when enabling trusted authentication.
6. Hit "Save" at the top of the page.
