This section describes how to connect an existing SQL warehouse or cluster in your Azure Databricks workspace to Census manually.
Note
For Databricks SQL warehouses, you can connect to Census using Partner Connect to simplify the experience.
Requirements
Before you connect to Census manually, you need the following:
A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Azure Databricks workspace.
The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.
An Azure Databricks personal access token or a Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) token.. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Azure Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.
Note
As a security best practice, when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.
