Global overview

Collibra Data Governance Center consists of the following components:

  • Services:
    • DGC service
    • Repository service
    • Search service
    • Jobserver service
    • Monitoring service
  • Collibra Console

Important Keep in mind that this overview is for an on-premises environment only.

With Collibra Console, you can monitor and maintain multiple Collibra environments. You can also install multiple Collibra Console instances, each managing a different set of environments.

Note The version of Collibra Console and your environments must be identical.

In the following schema, you see a typical enterprise setup, with two Collibra Console instances. One manages a development and an acceptance environment, the other manages a production environment:

In the schema, you see that in the development and acceptance environment, all services run on the same node. In the production environment, the services run on separate nodes. You can also run Collibra Console on a separate node, which is recommended, but you can also choose to run it on a node in combination with one of the services

Every node of an environment has a running Agent. The Agent is the communication bridge between Collibra Console and the Collibra services.

Tip It is not necessary to run each service on a single node. We recommend that you have 5 dedicated nodes: one for the Data Governance Center service and Search service, one for Collibra Console, one for the Repository service, one for the Monitoring service, and one for Jobserver if applicable. Make sure that you have a fast network between the nodes.
