Confluence JSON schema

Connecting Amazon Q Business to Confluence (Server/Data Center) using APIs

You use the CreateDataSource action to connect a data source to your Amazon Q application.

Then, you use the configuration parameter to provide a JSON schema with all other configuration information specific to your data source connector.

For an example of the API request, see CreateDataSource in the Amazon Q API Reference.

The following table provides information about important JSON keys to configure.

Configuration Description
connectionConfiguration Configuration information for the endpoint for the data source.
repositoryEndpointMetadata The endpoint information for the data source.
hostUrl The URL for your Confluence instance. For example, https://example.confluence.com.
Important

If you change or update your Confluence (Server/Data Center) data source URL, you also need to update your Secrets Manager secret to ensure a secure connection.
type The hosting method for your Confluence instance, whether SAAS or ON_PREM.
authType The authentication method for your Confluence instance, whether Basic, OAuth2, or Personal-token.
repositoryConfigurations Configuration information for the content of the data source. For example, configuring specific types of content and field mappings.

  • space

  • page

  • blog

  • comment

  • attachment

 A list of objects that map the attributes or field names of your Confluence spaces, pages, blogs, comments, and attachments to Amazon Q index field names.
additionalProperties Additional configuration options for your content in your data source.
isCrawlAcl Specify true to crawl access control information from documents.
Note

Amazon Q Business crawls ACL information to ensure responses are generated only from documents your end users have access to by default. See Authorization for more details.
fieldForUserId Specify field to use for UserId for ACL crawling.
proxyHost The host where the web proxy is required. The host name should be without protocol (http:// or https://).
proxyPort Port used by the host URL transport protocol. The port number should be a numeric value between 0 and 65535.
maxFileSizeInMegaBytes Specify the file size limit in MBs that Amazon Q will crawl. Amazon Q will crawl only the files within the size limit you define. The default file size is 50MB. The maximum file size should be greater than 0MB and less than or equal to 50MB.

 A list of regular expression patterns to include and/or exclude certain files in your Confluence data source. Files that match the patterns are included in the index. Files that don't match the patterns are excluded from the index. If a file matches both an inclusion and exclusion pattern, the exclusion pattern takes precedence and the file isn't included in the index.
