Snapshot

Snapshot is the product of a connector representing the data footprint of a system or service at a particular point in time.

Snapshot vs. Source

A source is a dynamic collection of snapshots. The final dataset within a source depends on its configuration (see Snapshotting frequency and Snapshot retention).

How Does It Work?

When a source is created, there are four essential areas of the configuration:

• Data in the snapshot: depends on the connector, however, in general, you choose both metrics and attributes as well as the sync period
• Historical data: some connectors allow the extraction historical data by selecting the specific or dynamic date range of the data you wish to extract
• Snapshotting frequency.: how often Dataddo will take your snapshots
• Snapshot retention.: how to deal with the existing data in source whenever a new snapshot is taken

Edit Snapshotting

Edit snapshotting for your data source anytime after creating a source. Snapshotting of a flow can be also edited directly in the flow configuration.
