| # Configuring Your Snowflake Connector to DataHub
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now that you have created a DataHub-specific user with the relevant roles in Snowflake in [the prior step](setup.md), it's now time to set up a connection via the DataHub UI.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configure Secrets
 | |
| 
 | |
| 1. Within DataHub, navigate to the **Ingestion** tab in the top, right corner of your screen
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="Navigate to the "Ingestion Tab"" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/common/common_ingestion_ingestion_button.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| :::note
 | |
| If you do not see the Ingestion tab, please contact your DataHub admin to grant you the correct permissions
 | |
| :::
 | |
| 
 | |
| 2. Navigate to the **Secrets** tab and click **Create new secret**
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|    <img width="75%" alt="Secrets Tab" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/common/common_ingestion_secrets_tab.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 3. Create a Password secret
 | |
| 
 | |
|   This will securely store your Snowflake password within DataHub
 | |
| 
 | |
|    * Enter a name like `SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD` - we will use this later to refer to the secret
 | |
|    * Enter the password configured for the DataHub user in the previous step
 | |
|    * Optionally add a description
 | |
|    * Click **Create**
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|    <img width="70%" alt="Snowflake Password Secret" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_password_secret.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Configure Recipe
 | |
| 
 | |
| 4. Navigate to the **Sources** tab and click **Create new source**
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="Click "Create new source"" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/common/common_ingestion_click_create_new_source_button.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 5. Select Snowflake
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="70%" alt="Select Snowflake from the options" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_snowflake_source.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 6. Fill out the Snowflake Recipe
 | |
| 
 | |
| Enter the Snowflake Account Identifier as **Account ID** field. Account identifier is the part before `.snowflakecomputing.com` in your snowflake host URL:
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|    <img width="70%" alt="Account Id Field" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_account_id.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| *Learn more about Snowflake Account Identifiers [here](https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/admin-account-identifier.html#account-identifiers)*
 | |
| 
 | |
| Add the previously added Password secret to **Password** field:
 | |
|    * Click on the Password input field
 | |
|    * Select `SNOWFLAKE_PASSWORD` secret
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|      <img width="70%" alt="Password field" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_password_secret_field.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| Populate the relevant fields using the same **Username**, **Role**, and **Warehouse** you created and/or specified in [Snowflake Prerequisites](setup.md).
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|    <img width="70%" alt="Warehouse Field" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_warehouse_username_role_fields.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 7. Click **Test Connection**
 | |
| 
 | |
| This step will ensure you have configured your credentials accurately and confirm you have the required permissions to extract all relevant metadata.
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="Test Snoflake connection" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_test_connection.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| After you have successfully tested your connection, click **Next**.
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Schedule Execution
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now it's time to schedule a recurring ingestion pipeline to regularly extract metadata from your Snowflake instance.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 8. Decide how regularly you want this ingestion to run-- day, month, year, hour, minute, etc. Select from the dropdown
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|     <img width="75%" alt="schedule selector" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/common/common_ingestion_set_execution_schedule.png"/>
 | |
| </p>  
 | |
| 
 | |
| 9. Ensure you've configured your correct timezone
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|     <img width="75%" alt="timezone_selector" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/common/common_ingestion_set_execution_timezone.png"/>
 | |
| </p>  
 | |
| 
 | |
| 10. Click **Next** when you are done
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Finish Up
 | |
| 
 | |
| 11. Name your ingestion source, then click **Save and Run**
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="Name your ingestion" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/common/common_ingestion_name_ingestion_source.png"/>
 | |
| </p>  
 | |
| 
 | |
| You will now find your new ingestion source running
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="ingestion_running" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_source_running.png"/>
 | |
| </p>  
 | |
| 
 | |
| ## Validate Ingestion Runs
 | |
| 
 | |
| 12. View the latest status of ingestion runs on the Ingestion page
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="ingestion succeeded" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_ingestion_succeded.png"/>
 | |
| </p>  
 | |
| 
 | |
| 13. Click the plus sign to expand the full list of historical runs and outcomes; click **Details** to see the outcomes of a specific run
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="ingestion_details" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_ingestion_details.png"/>
 | |
| </p>
 | |
| 
 | |
| 14. From the Ingestion Run Details page, pick **View All** to see which entities were ingested
 | |
| 
 | |
| <p align="center">
 | |
|   <img width="75%" alt="ingestion_details_view_all" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datahub-project/static-assets/main/imgs/guides/snowflake/snowflake_ingestion_details_view_all.png"/>
 | |
| </p>  
 | |
| 
 | |
| 15. Pick an entity from the list to manually validate if it contains the detail you expected  
 | |
