Raw data only. dbt Cloud lands as warehouse tables. It is not a modeled observability dashboard.
You connect data sources yourself in SourceMedium. Sign in to your SourceMedium account, open your store, then in the Data sources section click Connect data source and choose the platform. You need an Editor or Admin role on the store. If you have view-only access, ask an admin or editor on your team to connect it.Once it is connected, what happens next covers first-sync timing and what each connection status means.
How to connect
Paste a read-only dbt Cloud service token in SourceMedium asaccount_id:host:token. Do not email the token. Do not use a personal access token.
1
Create a service token in dbt Cloud
In dbt, open Account settings → Service tokens (or API tokens → Service tokens) and create a token with view access to runs, jobs, and projects. Copy it once. dbt’s own guide: Service account tokens.
2
Find your account id and host
In Account settings, copy the numeric account id (also in the URL as
/settings/accounts/ACCOUNT_ID/). Copy the access URL host with no https://, for example cloud.getdbt.com or ab123.us1.dbt.com. See How to find your dbt IDs.3
Add the values in SourceMedium
Find dbt Cloud in the connector picker and click Connect. Paste
account_id:host:service_token and click Connect. SourceMedium checks the token against your account before saving it.SourceMedium only ever reads from your connected platforms. It does not create, change, or delete anything, so create the key with read-only access wherever the platform offers it. Treat it like a password: keep it confidential and avoid sharing it over email or in spreadsheets. If the credential is rotated or revoked, follow this guide’s connection method to update SourceMedium.
