# How to configure an AlloyDB destination

Use this guide to fill the fields in the configuration view when creating a new AlloyDB destination in Supermetrics.

## Before you begin

Make sure you meet all [prerequisites for AlloyDB destinations](/v1/docs/about-alloydb-prerequisites) before going ahead.

## AlloyDB configuration

The configuration stage of [creating a new destination in the Supermetrics Hub](/v1/docs/how-to-connect-to-a-data-warehouse-destination) includes the following fields.

1. **Display name** will be used as the name of this destination within the Supermetrics Hub, to distinguish it from other destinations.
2. **Hostname** is the host of the AlloyDB instance you’re going to use as a destination.
3. **Database name** refers to the database you’ll connect to.
4. **Database schema** is the name of the destination database schema. PostgreSQL provides a default schema — “public” — that you can use instead of creating your own. Note that a database schema isn’t equivalent to a schema you’d select when creating a transfer, or a custom schema that you’d create in the Supermetrics Query Manager.
5. **Username** refers to your user who has access to the PostgreSQL database hosted on AlloyDB.
6. **Password** refers to your PostgreSQL database user password. When you’re editing an existing destination, this field will read “New password”. Adding anything into the field will overwrite the previous password.
