Lineage Workflow

Learn how to configure the Lineage workflow from the UI to ingest Lineage data from your data sources.

This workflow is available ONLY for the following connectors:

If your database service is not yet supported, you can use this same workflow by providing a Query Log file!

Learn how to do so 👇

Once the metadata ingestion runs correctly and we are able to explore the service Entities, we can add Entity Lineage information.

This will populate the Lineage tab from the Table Entity Page.

We can create a workflow that will obtain the query log and table creation information from the underlying database and feed it to OpenMetadata. The Lineage Ingestion will be in charge of obtaining this data.

From the Service Page, go to the Ingestions tab to add a new ingestion and click on Add Lineage Ingestion.
