The following table shows the required steps for integration.
| # | Step | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Set up Looker. |
The integration authenticates via a specific set of Looker API calls. To enable this, you have to provision a dedicated service account in Looker and assign one of the following two permission options. This configuration allows Collibra Data Lineage to securely harvest metadata using API3 credentials. |
| 2 | Review the preflight checks. | Key considerations to help ensure successful integration, including required Edge, technical lineage, and data source-specific permissions, network requirements and more. |
| 3 | Optionally, create a new target domain for asset ingestion. | You can choose one or more existing domains or create one or more new domains. |
| 4 |
Create a Looker connection. |
Create a connection to allow Collibra Data Lineage to connect to and retrieve metadata from Looker. |
| 5 |
Add the Technical Lineage for Looker capability. |
Add the technical lineage capability to your Edge or Collibra Cloud site. The capability allows the lineage harvester to retrieve data from your data source. |
| 6 | Synchronize the technical lineage. |
You can synchronize your technical lineage manually or automatically by adding a synchronization schedule. |
