CloudHealth Connector
Intro
CloudHealth is IT service management for the cloud, enabling policy driven cost, utilization, performance, and security optimization and governance. Domo's CloudHealth connector allows you to retrieve data through prebuilt or customized reports. To learn more about the CloudHealth API, visit their GitHub API site (https://github.com/CloudHealth/cht_api_guide).
You connect to the CloudHealth API in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the CloudHealth connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.
