<h1>Managing Connections<a class="headerlink" href="#managing-connections" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Airflow needs to know how to connect to your environment. Information
such as hostname, port, login and passwords to other systems and services is
handled in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Admin-&gt;Connections</span></code> section of the UI. The pipeline code you
will author will reference the ‘conn_id’ of the Connection objects.</p>
<img alt="../../_images/connections.png" src="../../_images/connections.png" />
<p>Connections can be created and managed using either the UI or environment
variables.</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="../../concepts.html#concepts-connections"><span class="std std-ref">Connections Concepts</span></a> documentation for
more information.</p>
<div class="section" id="creating-a-connection-with-the-ui">
<h2>Creating a Connection with the UI<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-connection-with-the-ui" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Open the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Admin-&gt;Connections</span></code> section of the UI. Click the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Create</span></code> link
to create a new connection.</p>
<img alt="../../_images/connection_create.png" src="../../_images/connection_create.png" />
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>Fill in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Conn</span> <span class="pre">Id</span></code> field with the desired connection ID. It is
recommended that you use lower-case characters and separate words with
underscores.</p></li>
<li><p>Choose the connection type with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Conn</span> <span class="pre">Type</span></code> field.</p></li>
<li><p>Fill in the remaining fields. See

to the connection you wish to edit in the connection list.</p>
<img alt="../../_images/connection_edit.png" src="../../_images/connection_edit.png" />
<p>Modify the connection properties and click the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Save</span></code> button to save your

<div class="section" id="creating-a-connection-with-environment-variables">
<h2>Creating a Connection with Environment Variables<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-connection-with-environment-variables" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Connections in Airflow pipelines can be created using environment variables.
The environment variable needs to have a prefix of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">AIRFLOW_CONN_</span></code> for
Airflow with the value in a URI format to use the connection properly.</p>
<p>When referencing the connection in the Airflow pipeline, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">conn_id</span></code>
should be the name of the variable without the prefix. For example, if the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">conn_id</span></code> is named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">postgres_master</span></code> the environment variable should be
named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">AIRFLOW_CONN_POSTGRES_MASTER</span></code> (note that the environment variable
must be all uppercase).</p>
<p>Airflow assumes the value returned from the environment variable to be in a URI
format (e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">postgres://user:password&#64;localhost:5432/master</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">s3://accesskey:secretkey&#64;S3</span></code>). The underscore character is not allowed
in the scheme part of URI, so it must be changed to a hyphen character
(e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">google-compute-platform</span></code> if <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">conn_type</span></code> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">google_compute_platform</span></code>).
Query parameters are parsed to one-dimensional dict and then used to fill extra.</p>
