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

* [Requirements](#requirements)
* [Metadata Ingestion](#metadata-ingestion)

## How to Run the Connector Externally

To run the Ingestion via the UI you'll need to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion Container, which comes shipped with
custom Airflow plugins to handle the workflow deployment.

If, instead, you want to manage your workflows externally on your preferred orchestrator, you can check
the following docs to run the Ingestion Framework **anywhere**.

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Card title="External Schedulers" href="/v1.12.x/deployment/ingestion">
    Get more information about running the Ingestion Framework Externally
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Requirements

Before this, you must create the service you want to get metadata for.
You can learn how to do it by following the initial part of the Connector documentation for the service.
You can find the connectors list [here](/v1.12.x/connectors).

### Python Requirements

<Tip>
  We have support for Python versions **3.9-3.11**
</Tip>

To run the Amundsen ingestion, you will need to install:

```bash theme={null}
pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[amundsen]"
```

## Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas.
[Here](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/blob/main/openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema/entity/services/connections/metadata/amundsenConnection.json)
you can find the structure to create a connection to Amundsen.
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](https://github.com/open-metadata/OpenMetadata/blob/main/openmetadata-spec/src/main/resources/json/schema/metadataIngestion/workflow.json)

### 1. Define the YAML Config

<CodePreview>
  <ContentPanel>
    <ContentSection id={1} title="Source Configuration" lines="1-3">
      Configure the source type and service name.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={2} title="Host Port" lines="7">
      **hostPort**: Host and port of the Amundsen Neo4j Connection. This expect a URI format like: bolt://localhost:7787.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={3} title="Username" lines="8">
      **username**: Username to connect to the Amundsen. This user should have privileges to read all the metadata in Amundsen.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={4} title="Password" lines="9">
      **password**: Password to connect to the Amundsen.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={5} title="Max Connection Life Time" lines="10">
      **maxConnectionLifeTime**: Maximum connection lifetime for the Amundsen Neo4j Connection.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={6} title="Validate SSL" lines="11">
      **validateSSL**: Enable SSL validation for the Amundsen Neo4j Connection.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={7} title="Encrypted" lines="12">
      **encrypted**: Enable encryption for the Amundsen Neo4j Connection.
    </ContentSection>

    <ContentSection id={8} title="Sink Configuration" lines="13-15">
      To send the metadata to OpenMetadata, it needs to be specified as `type: metadata-rest`.
    </ContentSection>
  </ContentPanel>

  <CodePanel fileName="connector_config.yaml">
    ```yaml theme={null}
    source:
      type: Amundsen
      serviceName: local_amundsen
      serviceConnection:
        config:
          type: Amundsen
    hostPort: http://localhost:10000
    username: username
    password: password
    maxConnectionLifeTime: 50
    validateSSL: false
    encrypted: false
    sink:
      type: metadata-rest
      config: {}
    ```

    ```yaml theme={null}
    workflowConfig:
      loggerLevel: INFO  # DEBUG, INFO, WARNING or ERROR
      openMetadataServerConfig:
        hostPort: "http://localhost:8585/api"
        authProvider: openmetadata
        securityConfig:
          jwtToken: "{bot_jwt_token}"
        ## Store the service Connection information
        storeServiceConnection: true  # false
        ## Secrets Manager Configuration
        # secretsManagerProvider: aws, azure or noop
        # secretsManagerLoader: airflow or env
        ## If SSL, fill the following
        # verifySSL: validate  # or ignore
        # sslConfig:
        #   caCertificate: /local/path/to/certificate
    # ingestionPipelineFQN: <service name>.<ingestion name> ## e.g., "my_redshift.metadata"
    ```
  </CodePanel>
</CodePreview>

### 2. Run with the CLI

First, we will need to save the YAML file. Afterward, and with all requirements installed, we can run:

```bash theme={null}
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.
