Requirements

Database User

This source only uses standard authentication. You will need to create a MySQL user to login to the database with.

Example

sources:
    my-mysql-source:
        kind: mysql
        host: 127.0.0.1
        port: 3306
        database: my_db
        user: ${USER_NAME}
        password: ${PASSWORD}
        # Optional TLS and other driver parameters. For example, enable preferred TLS:
        # queryParams:
        #     tls: preferred
        queryTimeout: 30s # Optional: query timeout duration

Tip

Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME} instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
