Self-Service Analytics supports Cloudera Search version 4.10 - 7.4. Before you can establish a connection from Self-Service Analytics to Cloudera Search storage, a connector server needs to be installed and configured. See Manage Connectors and Connector Servers for general instructions and Connect to Cloudera Search for details specific to the Cloudera Search connector. After setting up the connector, create data sources that specify the necessary connection information and identify the data you want to use. See Create and Manage Data Sources for more information. After you set up your data sources, create dashboards, self service reports, and visuals from the data in these data sources. See Create Dashboards.
