Connections Overview

Connections are integrations to external services that provide data to your agents. Each connection links OpsTower to a specific platform — such as an analytics tool, a logging service, a database, or a code repository — so that agents can query real data when answering your questions or generating reports.

You manage connections from the Connections page in the OpsTower dashboard. Once a connection is created, you can enable it on one or more agents to give them access to that data source.

OpsTower supports four categories of connections, each serving a different purpose.

Analytics connections provide product analytics data — events, metrics, user behavior, feature flags, experiments, and more.

Logs connections provide application logs and observability data for investigating errors, performance issues, and system behavior.

Database connections allow agents to run read-only queries against your databases, enabling direct data lookups and analysis.

Code connections give agents access to your source code, enabling repository browsing, code search, and commit history review.

Not every agent type can use every category of connection. The table below shows which categories are available for each agent type.

Agent TypeAnalyticsLogsDatabasesCode
DebuggerYesYesYes
AnalystYesYes

Debugger agents are designed for investigating issues, so they have access to logs, code, and databases — the tools you need to trace and resolve problems.

Analyst agents focus on understanding product performance and user behavior, so they have access to analytics platforms and databases for deeper data exploration.

All connection credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-GCM encryption. OpsTower never stores plaintext secrets. Database connections are read-only by design, ensuring that agents cannot modify your data.

The number of connections you can create depends on your subscription tier.
