# Ingest Data using Connectors

To configure a connector to send data to CFS, follow these steps.

To configure a connector to send data to CFS

1. Stop the connector, if it is running. For information about how to stop a connector, refer to the connector’s documentation.
2. Open the connector’s configuration file in a text editor.

3. In the `[Ingestion]` section, set the following parameters:

   `EnableIngestion` | To enable ingestion, set this parameter to `true`.
   `IngesterType` | To send data to CFS, set this parameter to `CFS`.
   `IngestHost` | The host name or IP address of the CFS.
   `IngestPort` | The ACI port of the CFS.

   For example:

       [Ingestion]
       EnableIngestion=True
       IngesterType=CFS
       IngestHost=localhost
       IngestPort=7000

4. Save and close the configuration file.

   You can now start the connector.
