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:

  1. Click Details under the destination you want to change to open the destination details page.
  2. 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.
  3. 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:

  1. Click Details under the destination you want to change to open the destination details page.
  2. On the event forwarders overview table, click the three dots next to the forwarder you want to change and select Rename.
  3. 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:

  1. Navigate to the Available tab and select Configure on the destination card from the list of available integrations to start setting up the forwarder.
  2. Give the forwarder a name, select the pipeline you want the forwarder to read events from, and choose a connection.
  3. From the Import configuration from dropdown, choose an existing forwarder.
  4. 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:

  1. Click Details under the destination you want to change to open the destination details page.
  2. On the event forwarders overview table, click the three dots next to the forwarder you want to change and select Delete.
  3. On the confirmation modal, select Delete. This will start the process of destroying the underlying forwarder infrastructure.
