Connection Options

• Host and Port: This is the BigQuery APIs URL.
• Username (Optional): Specify the User to connect to BigQuery. It should have enough privileges to read all the metadata.
• Project ID (Optional): The BigQuery Project ID is required only if the credentials path is being used instead of values.
• GCS Credentials: We support two ways of authenticating to BigQuery:
  1. Passing the raw credential values provided by BigQuery. This requires us to provide the following information, all provided by BigQuery:
     • Credentials type, e.g., service_account
     • Project ID
     • Private Key ID
     • Private Key
     • Client Email
     • Client ID
     • Auth URI, https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth by defaul
     • Token URI, https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token by default
     • Authentication Provider X509 Certificate URL, https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs by default
     • Client X509 Certificate U
  2. Passing a local file path that contains the credentials:
     • GCS Credentials Path
• Enable Policy Tag Import (Optional): Mark as 'True' to enable importing policy tags from BigQuery to OpenMetadata.
• Tag Category Name (Optional): If the Tag import is enabled, the name of the Tag Category will be created at OpenMetadata.
• Database (Optional): The database of the data source is an optional parameter, if you would like to restrict the metadata reading to a single database. If left blank, OpenMetadata ingestion attempts to scan all the databases.
• Connection Options (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection options that can be sent to BigQuery during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.
• Connection Arguments (Optional): Enter the details for any additional connection arguments such as security or protocol configs that can be sent to BigQuery during the connection. These details must be added as Key-Value pairs.
  • In case you are using Single-Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "sso_login_url"
  • In case you authenticate with SSO using an external browser popup, then add the authenticator details in the Connection Arguments as a Key-Value pair as follows: "authenticator" : "externalbrowser"
