Setting up a data source integration
Connecting a data source to Validio typically involves these steps:- Create a service account: In the tool you want to integrate, create a dedicated account for Validio with read-only access to the data you want to monitor.
- Add a credential: Configure the connection in Validio using your service account. Once connected, Validio discovers available assets and can display them in catalog and lineage views.
- Create sources: Select which tables, topics, or datasets to actively monitor. Validio begins pulling metadata and metrics once a source is created.
- Add validators: Configure validators to track metrics like row counts, null rates, freshness, and other calculated statistics. Use custom SQL validators for business-specific logic. Set up notification rules to route alerts when incidents are detected.
- Configure notifications: (Optional) Connect notification channels to route alerts to Slack, Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, or other tools your team uses.
