Export from Swetrix to ClickHouse

CloudQuery is an open-source data integration platform that allows you to export data from any source to any destination.

The CloudQuery Swetrix plugin allows you to sync data from Swetrix to any destination, including ClickHouse. It's free, open source, requires no account, and takes only minutes to get started.

Ready? Let's dive right in!

Step 1. Install the CloudQuery CLI

The CloudQuery CLI is a command-line tool that runs the sync. It supports MacOS, Linux and Windows.

brew install cloudquery/tap/cloudquery

Step 2. Configure the Swetrix source plugin

Create a configuration file for the Swetrix plugin and set up authentication.

Swetrix is a partner plugin, which means that it is maintained by the Swetrix team. Create a file called swetrix.yaml, then copy the example and follow the instructions in the Swetrix Plugin Documentation ↗ to fit your needs.

Step 3. Configure the ClickHouse destination plugin

Create a configuration file for the ClickHouse plugin and set up authentication.

Configuration

Create a file called clickhouse.yaml and add the following contents:

kind: destination
spec:
  name: "clickhouse"
  registry: "github"
  path: "cloudquery/clickhouse"
  version: "v3.1.1"
  write_mode: "append"
  spec:
    connection_string: "clickhouse://${CH_USER}:${CH_PASSWORD}@localhost:9000/${CH_DATABASE}"

This example configures a ClickHouse instance, located at localhost:9000. It expects CH_USER, CH_PASSWORD and CH_DATABASE environment variables to be set. The (top level) spec section is described in the Destination Spec Reference.

Fine-tune this configuration to match your needs. For more information, see the ClickHouse Plugin ↗ page in the docs.

Step 4. Start the Sync

Run the following command in your terminal to start the sync

cloudquery sync swetrix.yaml clickhouse.yaml

And away we go! 🚀 The sync will run until completion, fetching all selected tables from Swetrix. Any errors will be logged to a file called cloudquery.log.
