Profiling and classification via Edge

When you register a data source, the Jobserver ingests data into Data Catalog. After that, an Edge site initiates the profiling and classification process and sends the results to Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.

Prerequisites

You have created a support ticket in Zendesk to request access to Edge.
You have created and installed an Edge site Edge site.
You have an Edge site role with the following global permissions:
- Data Catalog
- Register Profiling Information
You have a role with the following resource permissions on the Schema community:
- Asset: add
- Attribute: add
- Domain: add
- Attachment: add
Note These permissions are always necessary when registering a data source.

Steps

Enable Profiling and Classification Enable Profiling and Classification on Edge in Collibra Console.
Register a data source and do the following:
1. Optionally, enable push down sampling.
2. In the Profiling options, click Profile and classify data.
Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud first ingests metadata via Jobserver and then profiles and classifies the data via the profiling capability of an Edge site.

Tip Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud only has access to ingested metadata, anonymized profiling results and classification suggestions, but not actual data from your data source.

Configurations in Collibra Console

If you use profiling and classification via Edge, some configurations in Collibra Console are no longer relevant:

Section	Setting	Description
Data profiling	Anonymize data	This setting is no longer relevant. Profiling data is automatically anonymized on an Edge site before it reaches Collibra Data Intelligence Cloud.
Cloud Classification configuration	Enable data classification	If the Enable data classification is set to `True`, profiling and classification on Edge is disabled. As a result, you can classify data via the Data Classification platform, by clicking the Classify button on Column and Table asset pages instead of automatically via Edge.
