Overview

caution

This template has been deprecated.

Data Catalog UI now provides a section for Connection Management, which interacts with the Job Runner services to automatically scan data sources.

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:

  1. query tables schemas
  2. aggregate them in a unique asset (JSON format)
  3. 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).

architecture

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.
