IBM Cloud Object Storage data source connection

You can create a IBM Cloud® Object Storage (COS) connection and initiate a scan.

IBM® COS uses a connector residing on the storage system to push events to a Kafka topic residing in the IBM Spectrum® Discover cluster. When configured, the IBM Spectrum Discover consumes the events and indexes them into the IBM Spectrum Discover database.

Restriction: IBM Spectrum Discover uses a unit separator (ASCII code 0x1F) as the field delimiter for ingestion into the database. This means that data which contains this character in path/file/object names results in improper parsing of the input data and the records are rejected by IBM Spectrum Discover.
