Managing forwarders
This page explains how to edit, clone, and delete event forwarders. To start, go to Destinations > Destination list in Snowplow Console.
Edit a forwarder
To edit a forwarder:
- Click Details under the destination you want to change to open the destination details page.
- On the event forwarders overview table, click the three dots next to the forwarder you want to change and select Edit. You will see the forwarder configuration page.
- Modify the forwarder configuration as needed. When you're done, select Deploy to re-deploy the forwarder with the updated configuration. The forwarder instances will be re-deployed on a rolling basis over the next few minutes.
Rename a forwarder
To rename a forwarder:
- Click Details under the destination you want to change to open the destination details page.
- On the event forwarders overview table, click the three dots next to the forwarder you want to change and select Rename.
- Enter a new forwarder name and select Rename to save.
Clone a forwarder
When creating a new forwarder, you can import the configuration from an existing forwarder of the same type. This is especially helpful when migrating a forwarder setup from a development pipeline to production.
To clone a forwarder:
- Navigate to the Available tab and select Configure on the destination card from the list of available integrations to start setting up the forwarder.
- Give the forwarder a name, select the pipeline you want the forwarder to read events from, and choose a connection.
- From the Import configuration from dropdown, choose an existing forwarder.
- Click Continue. The filters, mappings, and custom functions will be pre-populated with those of the existing forwarder you imported from.
Delete a forwarder
To permanently delete a forwarder:
- Click Details under the destination you want to change to open the destination details page.
- On the event forwarders overview table, click the three dots next to the forwarder you want to change and select Delete.
- On the confirmation modal, select Delete. This will start the process of destroying the underlying forwarder infrastructure.
