Creating a New Adapter

You can create new adapters (CSV/JSON/SQL Server only), each with its own unique pages and the same standard features that can be found in all adapters.

The system allows you to create up to 10 customized instances within each CSV/JSON/SQL Server adapter (10 per each type, 30 in total). In the event that more than 10 are needed, please contact Axonius Support.

You can upload your own logo for each custom adapter you create. If you do not upload a logo, each custom adapter is associated with the default logo for the source adapter (e.g., the Axonius CSV/JSON/SQL Server adapter logo).

Custom adapters are displayed in the "Custom Adapter" category.
