Requirements

The connector requires Exasol version 7.1 or higher to function correctly. Ensure your Exasol instance meets this minimum version requirement before proceeding.

Metadata Ingestion

Connection Options

Connection Scheme: Specifies the SQLAlchemy driver scheme options required to connect to Exasol.

Username: The username used to connect to the Exasol database. Ensure that this user has sufficient privileges to read all the metadata from Exasol.

Password: The password associated with the user connecting to Exasol.

Host and Port: Defines the host and port of the Exasol instance. Provide this as a string in the format hostname:port. For example: localhost:8563

• If running the OpenMetadata ingestion in a Docker container and your services are hosted on localhost, use host.docker.internal:8563.

SSL/TLS Settings: Specifies the mode or settings for SSL/TLS validation during the connection. Available options:

validate-certificate (Default): Enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) and validates the server certificate using system certificate stores.

ignore-certificate: Enables Transport Layer Security (TLS) but disables validation of the server certificate.

{% note %} This mode should not be used in production. It is useful for testing with self-signed certificates. {% /note %}

disable-tls: Disables Transport Layer Security (TLS). Data is sent in plain text (no encryption). [!WARNING] This mode is not recommended for production and should only be used in debugging scenarios.

{% note %} Ensure that the appropriate TLS setting is chosen based on your security and deployment requirements. {% /note %}
