# Cloudability Connector

## Intro

Cloudability (Cloud Cost Management Tool) lets you monitor, optimize and govern your cloud costs. To learn more about the Cloudability API, visit their page ([http://developers.cloudability.com/](http://developers.cloudability.com/)).

You connect to your Cloudability account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Cloudability connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in [a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Prerequisites

To connect to your Cloudability account and create a DataSet, you must have a Cloudability API key. To find your API key, do the following:

1. Log into your Cloudability account.
2. Navigate to **Account > Preferences**.
3. Click **Enable Access** at the bottom of the page.

You should then be able to find your API key on this page.

## Connecting to Your Cloudability Account

This section enumerates the options in the **Credentials** and **Details** panes in the Cloudability Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](/s/article/360042926274 "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

### Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your Cloudability account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" data-aura-rendered-by="33:195;a"><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Field </span></p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p><span class="s1"> Description </span></p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"> API Key </td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"> Enter your Cloudability API key. For information about finding your API key, see "Prerequisites," above. </td></tr></tbody></table>

Once you have entered valid Cloudability credentials, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new Cloudability DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the **Accounts** tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see [Managing User Accounts for Connectors](/s/article/360042926054 "Managing User Accounts for Connectors").

### Details Pane

This pane contains a primary **Reports** menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
