Configuring a DTS Connector

Last updated: 2024-11-01 20:42:27

    Overview

    Data Transmission Service (DTS) supports data subscription for MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, and other relational databases and NoSQL databases. It gets the data changes of key database businesses and provides them for downstream entities to subscribe to, get, and consume. This facilitates data sync between TencentDB databases and heterogeneous systems, such as cache update, real-time ETL (data warehousing technology) sync, and async business decoupling.
    In EventBridge, you can configure a DTS connector to pull incremental BinLog from the source instance in real time based on DTS data subscription to consume and process logs and deliver them to different targets. This document introduces how to create a DTS connector and the structure of events generated by the DTS connector.

    Supported subscription operations

    DTS allows you to subscribe to databases and tables. Specifically, the following three subscription types are supported:
    Data update: Subscription to DML operations.
    Structure update: Subscription to DDL operations.
    Full instance: Subscription to the DML and DDL operations of all tables.

    Use limits

    EventBridge has a limit on the event size. An upstream log greater than 1 MB cannot be successfully delivered to EventBridge for consumption. Pay attention to your log size.
    Under the current scheme, EventBridge can consume data in multiple partitions concurrently and cannot guarantee the consumption sequence.
    To ensure normal data consumption, you need to exercise caution when updating the consumer group account password after creating a connector. If the password is updated, you need to bind the connector again. Otherwise, data consumption may fail.
    DTS supports batch delivery. Batch changes will be delivered in array format in the same event.

    Prerequisites

    1. You have activated the DTS data subscription service and created an instance.
    2. Your sub-account has obtained EventBridge and DTS related operation permissions by using the root account.

    Directions

    1. Log in to the EventBridge console and select Event Bus on the left sidebar.
    2. In the Event Bus list, select the event bus for which you want to configure a DTS connector.
    3. On the event bus details page, click Add in the event connector section, and set the connector type to DTS data subscriptions.
    4. Select the data subscription instance to consume as instructed, and enter information such as the consumer group name, account, and password as needed. If no consumer object is bound, complete related configuration in the DTS console.
    5. Click OK. Then you can view the information of the bound connector on the event bus page.
    6. On the event bus details page, click Manage Event Rules.
    
    
    7. Click Create Event Rule and enter the relevant information as prompted. You need to set Tencent Cloud service to DTS data subscriptions and configure data conversion and complete trigger target binding as needed.
    8. Click OK.

    Event Format

    The format of processed events received by a DTS connector is as follows:
