How it works

The Egnyte connector pulls in files stored in Egnyte. The Egnyte connector indexes the file name, file type, and contents of the file. New files are pulled every 10 minutes.

​
Setting up

Setup runs through four steps, shown in the left rail of the connector page: Credential, Connector, Space, and Advanced.

​
Configure UtopikAI environment variables

This step is only necessary if self-hosting UtopikAI. If you use UtopikAI Cloud, you can skip it.
  1. Set the following environment variable on your UtopikAI instance:
  1. Restart your UtopikAI instance to apply the changes.

​
Step 1: Select Credential

  1. Open Admin from the profile menu, then go to Connectors → Add Connector.
  2. Under Storage, select Egnyte.
  3. In Step 1, select an existing credential from the list, or click Create New to add one.
Step 1: Select Credential for Egnyte in the UtopikAI Admin panel Existing credentials are listed with their ID, Name, Created date, and Last Updated date. If no credential has been set up yet, the list shows No credentials found.
Ensure the credential you select has the proper permissions for this connector. A credential authorized by an account without access to the files you want to index will not be able to index them.
Clicking Create New opens the Create Egnyte Credential modal: Create Egnyte Credential modal with the Egnyte Domain field in the UtopikAI Admin panel
  1. Enter your Egnyte Domain — the domain prefix for your Egnyte instance (for example company for company.egnyte.com).
  2. Click Create to start the OAuth authorization flow.
  3. On the Egnyte authorization screen, approve access for UtopikAI.
  4. Once authorized, you are redirected back to UtopikAI. Select the credential you created, then click Continue.

​
Step 2: Configure the connector

  1. Enter a Connector Name — a descriptive name for this connector.
  2. Optionally specify a Folder Path to limit indexing to a particular folder. Leave blank to index all accessible files.
  3. Click Continue.

​
Step 3: Select a space

Choose the space to index the documents from. This controls which space the connector’s indexed content belongs to. Use the search field to filter the list if you have many spaces, then click Continue.

​
Step 4: Advanced Configuration

The final step controls how often UtopikAI syncs with Egnyte and how far back it indexes. The defaults work for most setups. Entering 0 or leaving Refresh Frequency blank means UtopikAI will never pull new documents for this connector. Entering 0 or leaving Prune Frequency blank disables pruning for this connector. Pruning checks every document against the source, so lower values (more frequent pruning) increase load — raise the frequency with care on large accounts. Use Reset to restore the default values. When you are done, click Create Connector to save the connector and begin indexing your Egnyte files. You can return to any earlier step using the Previous button or the step list in the left rail.
