## Requirements

{% note %}
Every table ingested will have a tag name `AtlasMetadata.atlas_table`. You can find all tags under
Governance > Classification.
{% /note %}

## 1. Create Database & Messaging Services

You need to create at least a Database Service before ingesting the metadata from Atlas. Make sure to note down the name, since
we will use it to create Atlas Service.

For example, to create a Hive Service you can follow these steps:

{% partial 
  file="/v1.5/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" 
  variables={
    connector: "Hive", 
    selectServicePath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/hive/select-service.png",
    addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/hive/add-new-service.png",
    serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/hive/service-connection.png",
} 
/%}

## 2. Atlas Metadata Ingestion

Then, prepare the Atlas Service and configure the Ingestion:

{% partial 
  file="/v1.5/connectors/metadata-ingestion-ui.md" 
  variables={
    connector: "Atlas", 
    selectServicePath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/atlas/select-service.png",
    addNewServicePath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/atlas/add-new-service.png",
    serviceConnectionPath: "/images/v1.5/connectors/atlas/service-connection.png",
} 
/%}

#### Connection Details

- **Host and Port**: Host and port of the Atlas service.
- **Username**: username to connect  to the Atlas. This user should have privileges to read all the metadata in Atlas.
- **Password**: password to connect  to the Atlas.
- **databaseServiceName**: source database of the data source. This is the service we created before: e.g., `local_hive`)
- **messagingServiceName**: messaging service source of the data source.
- **Entity Type**: Name of the entity type in Atlas.
