In this section, we provide guides and references to use the BurstIQ LifeGraph connector. Configure and schedule BurstIQ metadata and profiler workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

​
Requirements

​
Python Requirements

We have support for Python versions 3.9-3.11
To run the BurstIQ ingestion, you will need to install: 
pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[burstiq]"

​
Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to BurstIQ. In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server. The workflow is modeled around the following JSON Schema

​
1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for BurstIQ:

​
2. Run with the CLI

First, we will need to save the YAML file. Afterward, and with all requirements installed, we can run: 
metadata ingest -c <path-to-yaml>
Note that from connector to connector, this recipe will always be the same. By updating the YAML configuration, you will be able to extract metadata from different sources.

​
Lineage

After running a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we can run Lineage workflow. While the serviceName will be the same to that was used in Metadata Ingestion, so the ingestion bot can get the serviceConnection details from the server.

​
1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for Lineage:
  • You can learn more about how to configure and run the Lineage Workflow to extract Lineage data from here

​
2. Run with the CLI

After saving the YAML config, we will run the command the same way we did for the metadata ingestion: 
metadata ingest -c <path-to-yaml>
