## Requirements
|
||
|
|
||
|
To access the ThoughtSpot APIs and import liveboards, charts, and data models from ThoughtSpot into OpenMetadata, you need appropriate permissions on your ThoughtSpot instance.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### ThoughtSpot Account Setup and Permissions
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. **Authentication Setup**
|
||
|
ThoughtSpot supports multiple authentication methods:
|
||
|
- **Basic Authentication:** Username and password authentication. The user should have appropriate permissions to read metadata from ThoughtSpot.
|
||
|
- **API Token Authentication:** Use ThoughtSpot API tokens for authentication. Generate API tokens from your ThoughtSpot instance.
|
||
|
|
||
|
2. **API Permissions**
|
||
|
Ensure your ThoughtSpot user or service account has the following permissions:
|
||
|
- Read access to liveboards and answers
|
||
|
- Read access to worksheets and data models
|
||
|
- Access to metadata APIs
|
||
|
- Export permissions for TML (ThoughtSpot Modeling Language) data
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. **Multi-tenant Configuration (Optional)**
|
||
|
If you're using ThoughtSpot Cloud with multiple organizations:
|
||
|
- Set the `Organization ID` parameter to specify which organization to connect to (only for ThoughtSpot Cloud).
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% note %}
|
||
|
- For lineage extraction, ensure TML (ThoughtSpot Modeling Language) export is enabled for your user.
|
||
|
{% /note %}
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Connection Details
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Host and Port:**
|
||
|
The URL of your ThoughtSpot instance.
|
||
|
Examples:
|
||
|
- Cloud: `https://my-company.thoughtspot.cloud`
|
||
|
- On-premise: `https://thoughtspot.company.com`
|
||
|
- Local: `https://localhost`
|
||
|
If running ingestion in Docker and ThoughtSpot is on `localhost`, use `host.docker.internal`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Authentication:**
|
||
|
Choose one of the following:
|
||
|
- **Basic Authentication:**
|
||
|
- Username: Your ThoughtSpot username
|
||
|
- Password: Your ThoughtSpot password
|
||
|
- **API Token Authentication:**
|
||
|
- API Token: Your ThoughtSpot API token
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **API Version:**
|
||
|
The ThoughtSpot API version to use for metadata extraction.
|
||
|
- `v1`: Legacy API version (callosum endpoints)
|
||
|
- `v2`: Current API version (recommended, default)
|
||
|
|
||
|
- **Organization ID:**
|
||
|
For multi-tenant ThoughtSpot Cloud deployments.
|
||
|
- Leave empty for single-tenant
|
||
|
- Set to your org ID for multi-tenant
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Metadata Ingestion
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% partial
|
||
|
file="/v1.8/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md"
|
||
|
variables={
|
||
|
connector: "ThoughtSpot",
|
||
|
selectServicePath: "/images/v1.8/connectors/thoughtspot/select-service.png",
|
||
|
addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.8/connectors/thoughtspot/add-new-service.png",
|
||
|
serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.8/connectors/thoughtspot/service-connection.png",
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
/%}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% stepsContainer %}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% partial file="/v1.8/connectors/test-connection.md" /%}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% partial file="/v1.8/connectors/dashboard/configure-ingestion.md" /%}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% partial file="/v1.8/connectors/ingestion-schedule-and-deploy.md" /%}
|
||
|
|
||
|
{% /stepsContainer %}
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Note:**
|
||
|
Lineage creation requires:
|
||
|
- Database service names to be configured in the lineage information
|
||
|
- Access to TML export functionality
|
||
|
|
||
|
Enable debug logging to troubleshoot issues:
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
This will provide detailed information about API calls, data extraction, and lineage creation.
