+Connectors serve as a central place to store connection information for both Elastic and third-party systems. They enable the linking of actions to rules, which execute as background tasks on the {{kib}} server when rule conditions are met. This allows rules to route actions to various destinations such as log files, ticketing systems, and messaging tools. Different {{kib}} apps may have their own rule types, but they typically share connectors. The **{{stack-manage-app}} > {{connectors-ui}}** provides a central location to view and manage all connectors in the current space.
 
-% Scope notes: Connectors management, probably moving some content to reference. We should align the serverless and stateful documentation.
+::::{note}
+This page is about Kibana connectors that integrate with services like generative AI model providers. If you’re looking for Search connectors that synchronize third-party data into {{es}}, refer to [Connector clients](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/serverless/current/elasticsearch-ingest-data-through-integrations-connector-client.html).

+::::{note}
+Some connector types are paid commercial features, while others are free. For a comparison of the Elastic subscription levels, go to [the subscription page](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions).
+
+::::
+
+## Required permissions [_required_permissions_2]
+
+Access to connectors is granted based on your privileges to alerting-enabled features. For more information, go to [Security](../explore-analyze/alerts-cases/alerts/alerting-setup.md#alerting-security).
+
+## Connector networking configuration [_connector_networking_configuration]
+
+Use the [action configuration settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/alert-action-settings-kb.html#action-settings) to customize connector networking configurations, such as proxies, certificates, or TLS settings. You can set configurations that apply to all your connectors or use `xpack.actions.customHostSettings` to set per-host configurations.
+
+## Connector list [connectors-list]
+
+In **{{stack-manage-app}} > {{connectors-ui}}**, you can find a list of the connectors in the current space. You can use the search bar to find specific connectors by name and type. The **Type** dropdown also enables you to filter to a subset of connector types.
+

+:::
+
+You can delete individual connectors using the trash icon. Alternatively, select multiple connectors and delete them in bulk using the **Delete** button.
+
+:::{image} ../../../images/kibana-connector-delete.png
+:alt: Deleting connectors individually or in bulk
+:class: screenshot
+:::
+
+::::{note}
+You can delete a connector even if there are still actions referencing it. When this happens the action will fail to run and errors appear in the {{kib}} logs.
+
+::::
+
+## Creating a new connector [creating-new-connector]
+
+New connectors can be created with the **Create connector** button, which guides you to select the type of connector and configure its properties.
+
+:::{image} ../../../images/kibana-connector-select-type.png
+:alt: Connector select type
+:class: screenshot
+:::
+
+After you create a connector, it is available for use any time you set up an action in the current space.
+
+For out-of-the-box and standardized connectors, refer to [preconfigured connectors](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/pre-configured-connectors.html).
+
+::::{tip}
+You can also manage connectors as resources with the [Elasticstack provider](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/elastic/elasticstack/latest) for Terraform. For more details, refer to the [elasticstack_kibana_action_connector](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/elastic/elasticstack/latest/docs/resources/kibana_action_connector) resource.
+::::
+
+## Importing and exporting connectors [importing-and-exporting-connectors]
+
+To import and export connectors, use the [Saved Objects Management UI](/explore-analyze/find-and-organize/saved-objects.md).
+
+:::{image} ../../../images/kibana-connectors-import-banner.png
+:alt: Connectors import banner
+:class: screenshot
+:::
+
+If a connector is missing sensitive information after the import, a **Fix** button appears in **{{connectors-ui}}**.

+## Monitoring connectors [monitoring-connectors]
 
-**This page is a work in progress.** The documentation team is working to combine content pulled from the following pages:
+The [Task Manager health API](../../../deploy-manage/monitor/kibana-task-manager-health-monitoring.md) helps you understand the performance of all tasks in your environment. However, if connectors fail to run, they will report as successful to Task Manager. The failure stats will not accurately depict the performance of connectors.
