About Azure Storage configuration
The configuration stage of creating a new destination in the Supermetrics Hub includes the following fields.
- Display name will be used as the name of this destination within the Supermetrics Hub, to distinguish it from other destinations.
- Container name refers to the name of the Azure Storage container you want to use as a destination.
- Find your container name in the Azure portal by navigating to Storage accounts and opening the account in which the container you want to use is located.
- Upload path refers to the folder structure you want to use within your destination container.
- If the specified folder structure already exists, your data will be transferred based on the specified path. If a matching folder structure does not yet exist, a data transfer will create a new folder structure based on this path.
- Output format offers options for selecting a preferred output format for the data being transferred to this destination.
- Connection string refers to the authorization key for transfers to be able to load data into your container.
- Find the connection string of your storage account in the Azure portal by navigating to Storage accounts. From there, go to Security + networking > Access keys.
