Running metadata collectors

A metadata collector run harvests technical metadata from the connected data platform and updates the Data Catalog. Collectors can run on demand or on a defined schedule. Runtime logs record the status and details of each run.

A metadata collector run harvests technical metadata from the connected data platform and updates the Data Catalog. Collectors can run on demand or on a defined schedule. Runtime logs record the status and details of each run.

Collectors support two run modes:

• Manual: An immediate, on-demand run. Use this after initial setup to verify that the collector connects and collects expected metadata
• Scheduled: A recurring run at a defined interval. Use this to keep catalog metadata current as the source system changes

• Run metadata collectors manually
  Execute a metadata collector on-demand to import metadata immediately.
• Schedule metadata collector runs
  Schedule a metadata collector to run automatically at a specified frequency.
• View runtime logs for collector runs
  Access execution logs and download detailed log files for metadata collector runs.
