How it works

The Egnyte connector pulls in files stored in Egnyte. The Egnyte connector indexes the file name, file type, and contents of the file. New files are pulled every 10 minutes.

​
Setup

​
Configure your Egnyte Application + Onyx env variables

This is only necessary if self-hosting Onyx. If using Onyx Cloud, you can skip this step.
  1. Create an Egnyte Application. Check out the Egnyte API documentation for more information.
  2. Set the following environment variables on your Onyx instance:
EGNYTE_DOMAIN=something like "app4onyx"
EGNYTE_CLIENT_ID=
EGNYTE_CLIENT_SECRET=
  1. Restart your Onyx instance as you normally would to apply the changes.

​
Indexing

  1. In the Onyx UI, navigate to the Admin Dashboard and select the Egnyte Connector
  2. Click the Create New button to go through the OAuth flow.
  3. Once you’ve authorized the application, you’ll be redirected back to Onyx.
  4. Finish the setup, optionally specifying a folder path to index.
  5. Click Connect to begin indexing Egnyte files!
