# Looker & LookML Ingestion Guide: Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## What You Will Get Out of This Guide
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This guide will help you set up the Looker & LookML connectors to begin ingesting metadata into DataHub.
|
||
|
|
Upon completing this guide, you will have a recurring ingestion pipeline to extract metadata from Looker & LookML and load it into DataHub.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Looker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Looker connector will ingest Looker asset types:

* [Dashboards](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/dashboards)
|
||
|
|
* [Charts](https://cloud.google.com/looker/docs/creating-visualizations)
|
||
