Create Metadata connector log files

If you have an issue with a JDBC connection, for example while registering a data source via Edge, you can create the Metadata connector log files and then save and review them locally. If you create a support ticket, attach the reviewed Metadata connector log files to your ticket so Collibra Support can help you with your issue.

Prerequisites

You have a global role that has the System administration global permission.
You have a global role with the Manage connections and capabilities global permission, for example Edge integration engineer.
You have created and installed an Edge site.
You have created a JDBC connection and an Edge capability.

Steps

Edit the Edge capability that contains the JDBC connection for which you want to create a log file.
1. Click the name of the Edge capability to open it.
2. Click Edit.
3. In the General section, click the Log level drop-down menu.
4. Select the log verbosity level.
  Tip The level must be at least low.
5. Click Save.
  The fields become read-only.
Click Run to rerun the Edge capability.
Contact Collibra support to request the Edge job ID of the Edge capability.
Run the following command:
```
./edge catalog-connector --jobid <Edge job ID> --dst <path to destination>
```
The log file is created and stored in the predefined destination.
Tip If the Edge command is not available, you will need to download the Edge tool.

Prerequisites

You have a Linux host with kubectl access to your EKS installation.

You have mc (minio client) installed in /usr/local/bin:

sudo curl -L "https://dl.min.io/client/mc/release/linux-amd64/mc" -o /usr/local/bin/mc
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mc

Steps

Execute the following commands:

kubectl -n collibra-edge port-forward service/minio 9000:9000 &

MC_ACCESSKEY="$(kubectl get secrets edge-minio -n collibra-edge -o jsonpath="{.data.accesskey}" | base64 --decode)"

MC_SECRETKEY="$(kubectl get secrets edge-minio -n collibra-edge -o jsonpath="{.data.secretkey}" | base64 --decode)"

export MC_HOST_edge="http://${MC_ACCESSKEY}:${MC_SECRETKEY}@localhost:9000"

mc cp --quiet --recursive edge/cdata/<jobId> <destination_directory>

pkill -f "port-forward"
