# Connector Overview

> Basic Information about Connectors

## What are Connectors

Connectors hook up **Hymalaia** to your data sources so that answers are grounded in your organization’s knowledge.

## Connectors help you

* **Choose Sources** so you can include only the data you want indexed.
* **Configure Access** so Hymalaia can securely access data with your permission.
* **Set Up Fetching** options to keep Hymalaia answers up to date.

## Monitoring Connectors

Open the **Connectors Dashboard** (accessible from the profile icon on the top right).\
At the top there is a **Status** page which shows which sources have been indexed and the status of the indexing job.

## Missing a Connector?

Is there a connector that would be useful to you?\
Let us know via the [GitHub Issues page](https://github.com/hymalaia-platform/hymalaia/issues).\
(Please check if the connector you’re interested in is already mentioned).

👍 Don’t forget to thumbs up the issues requesting the connectors that you would like to see built next!

## Contributing a Connector

As **Hymalaia** is open source, one of the best features is that anyone can add to it!\
We encourage people who need new connectors to contribute it back to the Hymalaia repo for others to benefit as well.

📚 Refer to this [README guide](https://github.com/hymalaia-platform/hymalaia/blob/main/docs/README.md) for how to add a new Connector.
