Connect ClickHouse to ECA
Give ECA governed access to ClickHouse through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add ClickHouse to ECA in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in ECA then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Approve ClickHouse in Runlayer
Add ClickHouse from the catalog and choose who can use it and which of its tools are allowed.
- 2
Connect ECA to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to ECA by following Runlayer’s setup guide. ECA reaches ClickHouse’s tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.
ECA setup guide - 3
Sign in to ClickHouse
An admin adds ClickHouse credentials to Runlayer once. They never sit in the client’s configuration.
- 4
Use ClickHouse from ECA
ClickHouse’s approved tools appear in ECA. Every call is checked against policy and recorded.
Tools
ClickHouse tools in ECA
ClickHouse reports its tools when your organization connects it, so the list depends on your deployment.
Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in ECA
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what ECA exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every ClickHouse call from ECA passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, ECA as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for ECA yet, so control happens at the gateway.
