Adding Edge or a Jobserver to Collibra Platform

When you want to ingest data, you need Edge or the Jobserver service in your environment, whether it's an on-premises Collibra environment or a cloud environment. From a network point of view, we recommend in both environment types to install Edge or the Jobserver service as close to the data source as possible for optimal ingestion performance. In all cases, we recommend to use Edge, as the Jobserver's end-of-life is announced for September 2024.

Whether you use Edge or Jobserver, ensure that they always meet the system requirements. To add Edge to your environment, go to the Edge configuration guide.

This section focuses on installing and adding the Jobserver service to your Collibra Platform environment. Note that Jobserver is nearing its end of life and that it is highly recommended to use Edge.

Tip 

When you install an on-premises Jobserver for use in a Collibra Platform environment, you also have to install Collibra Console, to manage and configure this Jobserver. You can install both Jobserver and Collibra Console on the same server.

Additionally, you can install the Monitoring service to monitor the Jobserver service.

You can find the version of your Collibra Platform environment at the bottom of the sign-in window, for example 2025.04.0. Always use a Jobserver version that is compatible with your environment.
