# About Integrations

> Learn about Integrations in Cognite Data Fusion (CDF) for setting up and monitoring on-premises extractors.

<Info>
  Integrations is in [public preview](/cdf/product_feature_status#public-preview) and may change. If you do not see Integrations in your project, contact [Cognite Support](/cdf/support/index) or your Cognite representative.
</Info>

**Integrations** is a CDF tool for setting up and monitoring **integrations** from <span class="ui-element">Data fusion</span> > <span class="ui-element">Integrate</span> > <span class="ui-element">Integrations</span>. An **integration** is a registered data path into CDF, such as a Cognite DB, File, or OPC UA extractor on your infrastructure. It is not the same as [data integration](/cdf/integration/concepts/about_data_pipelines).

Creating an integration creates the integration resource only. It does **not** create an extraction pipeline. The **Extraction pipelines** experience remains available during the transition to Integrations.

<Info>
  Do not use the Integrations path and the Extraction pipelines path for the same external ID at the same time.

## What you can do

* Select <span class="ui-element">Set up</span> to open <span class="ui-element">Extractors</span> and choose a supported on-premises extractor.
* Download and install the extractor, then complete the **connection**. When the connection succeeds, the extractor has finished startup and check-in with CDF.
* On the <span class="ui-element">Configuration</span> tab, paste your local configuration file content. Remote configuration is keyed by the integration external ID.
* After the connection succeeds, monitor **tasks** in <span class="ui-element">Task log</span> and open a row for <span class="ui-element">Task run details</span>.
* Set email notifications from the integration menu with <span class="ui-element">Edit notifications</span>.
* On the <span class="ui-element">Errors</span> tab, review structured failures by severity and type, and open the related **task**.
* Trigger remote actions on the extractor from CDF, for example start or stop a task. The extractor picks up actions on the next check-in.
