Overview
Data Catalog Agent is command line interface binary that queries datasources for the data schemas of the resources they own and sends them to a target. In the context of databases, it provides facilities to:
- query tables schemas
- aggregate them in a unique asset (JSON format)
- send it to an HTTP server or store it locally on file
Data Catalog Agent serves as a driver for collecting and browsing, in a unified view, tables/collections persisted in different sources (System of Record, a.k.a SoR).
Mia Console allows to intercept the Data Catalog Agent output assets and visualize them in a dedicated web view. Mia Console is one of the configurable targets of Data Catalog Agent.
Data Catalog Agent is well suited for running locally or configured in Mia Console as a CronJob.
