You run the lineage harvester to start the Looker ingestion workflow. When you initiate Looker ingestion, each workflow component performs the following actions:
-
The lineage harvester:
- Communicates with Looker.
- Harvests the Looker metadata that will be ingested into Data Catalog.
- Sends the Looker metadata to Collibra.
- Collibra:
- Analyzes the Looker metadata.
- Creates new assets and relations.
- Imports new Looker assets and their relations in Data Catalog.
- Data Catalog:
- Shows new Looker assets.
- Shows a technical lineage tab on Looker Look asset pages.
