Requirements

AWS QuickSight Permissions To execute metadata extraction and usage workflow successfully the IAM User should have enough access to fetch required data. Following table describes the minimum required permissions

# AWS QuickSight Permission
1 DescribeDashboard
2 ListAnalyses
3 ListDataSources
4 ListDashboards
5 DescribeAnalysis
6 DescribeDataSet
7 ListDataSets
8 DescribeDataSource

Here is how to add Permissions to an IAM user.

  • Navigate to the IAM console in the AWS Management Console.

  • Choose the IAM user or group to which you want to attach the policy, and click on the "Permissions" tab.

  • Click on the "Add permissions" button and select "Attach existing policies directly".

  • Search for the policy by name or by filtering the available policies, and select the one you want to attach.

  • Review the policy and click on "Add permissions" to complete the process.

Python Requirements

{% partial file="/v1.5/connectors/python-requirements.md" /%}

To run the QuickSight ingestion, you will need to install:

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[quicksight]"

Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to QuickSight.

In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server.

The workflow is QuickSightled around the following JSON Schema

1. Define the YAML Config

This is a sample config for QuickSight:

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=1 %}

awsConfig

  • AWS Access Key ID: Enter your secure access key ID for your Glue connection. The specified key ID should be authorized to read all databases you want to include in the metadata ingestion workflow.
  • AWS Secret Access Key: Enter the Secret Access Key (the passcode key pair to the key ID from above).
  • AWS Region: Enter the location of the amazon cluster that your data and account are associated with.
  • AWS Session Token (optional): The AWS session token is an optional parameter. If you want, enter the details of your temporary session token.
  • Endpoint URL (optional): Your Glue connector will automatically determine the AWS QuickSight endpoint URL based on the region. You may override this behavior by entering a value to the endpoint URL.

awsAccountId: AWS Account ID

identityType: The authentication method that the user uses to sign in.
