This section provides guides and references to use the Glue connector.
Configure and schedule Glue metadata workflows from the Collate UI:

* [Requirements](#requirements)
* [Metadata Ingestion](#metadata-ingestion)
* [Troubleshooting](/ai-2-0/connectors/pipeline/glue-pipeline/troubleshooting)

## Requirements

The Glue connector ingests metadata through AWS [Boto3](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/glue.html) Client.
Collate ingests workflows, their jobs, and run status.
The user must have the following permissions for the ingestion to run successfully:

* `glue:ListWorkflows`
* `glue:GetWorkflow`
* `glue:GetJobRuns`

## Metadata Ingestion

To ingest metadata from Glue Pipeline, you need to create a service connection. The service connects Glue Pipeline with Collate. Once you create a service, Collate automatically starts ingesting metadata.

### Step 1: Add New Service

1. In the left navigation, click **Connections**.
2. On the **Connections** page, click **Add New Service**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/add-new-service.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=733cef1141ef13d318634aa9f407eb2b" alt="Add New Service" width="2992" height="1256" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/add-new-service.png" />

### Step 2: Select a Service and Connector

From the service type dropdown, select **Pipeline Services**, then click the **Glue Pipeline** connector tile.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/tVR0kaoXvgs3p2Wx/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/select-service/gluepipeline.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=tVR0kaoXvgs3p2Wx&q=85&s=01b4ff27d9dd32691a8a11e72a8e7f84" alt="Select Service" width="2102" height="1536" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/select-service/gluepipeline.png" />

### Step 3: Add Service Name and Description

* Enter a unique, descriptive **Service Name**. Collate identifies services by their service name. Enter a name that distinguishes this deployment from other Glue Pipeline services you are ingesting metadata from.
* Optional: Enter a **Description** for the service.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/service-name/gluepipeline.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=a58ce3118cdc2dae2f4f769911768b16" alt="Add New Service Name" width="1496" height="856" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/service-name/gluepipeline.png" />

<Note>
  **Note**: The service name cannot be changed after it is set.
</Note>

### Step 4: Configure Connection Options

Specify where ingestion runs, provide your source credentials, and verify the connection.

#### Select Ingestion Runner

Select an **Ingestion Runner**: the runner where the ingestion pipeline will execute.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/select-ingestion-runner.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=1249f828648614445e8a976ea1933487" alt="Add Name and Select Ingestion Runner" width="1444" height="506" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/select-ingestion-runner.png" />

#### Enter Connection Details

Enter the connection details for Glue Pipeline. The right-hand panel in the UI displays inline help for each field.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/tVR0kaoXvgs3p2Wx/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/connection-details/gluepipeline.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=tVR0kaoXvgs3p2Wx&q=85&s=956573c7905145bfa87c75db7b960e19" alt="Configure Service Connection" width="1462" height="786" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/connection-details/gluepipeline.png" />

* **AWS Access Key ID and AWS Secret Access Key**: When you interact with AWS, you specify your AWS security credentials to verify who you are and whether you have
  permission to access the resources that you are requesting. AWS uses the security credentials to authenticate and
  authorize your requests ([docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/security-creds.html)).
  Access keys consist of two parts: An **access key ID** (for example, `AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE`), and a **secret access key** (for example, `wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY`).
  You must use both the access key ID and secret access key together to authenticate your requests.
  You can find further information on [how to manage your access keys](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html).
* **AWS Region**: Each AWS Region is a separate geographic area in which AWS clusters data centers ([docs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Concepts.RegionsAndAvailabilityZones.html)).
  As AWS can have instances in multiple regions, we need to know the region the service you want to reach belongs to.
  Note that the AWS Region is the only required parameter when configuring a connection. When connecting to the
  services programmatically, there are different ways in which we can extract and use the rest of AWS configurations.
  You can find further information about [configuring your credentials](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/credentials.html#configuring-credentials).
* **AWS Session Token (optional)**: If you are using temporary credentials to access your services, you will need to inform the AWS Access Key ID
  and AWS Secrets Access Key. Also, these will include an AWS Session Token.
  You can find more information on [Using temporary credentials with AWS resources](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_temp_use-resources.html).
* **Endpoint URL (optional)**: To connect programmatically to an AWS service, you use an endpoint. An *endpoint* is the URL of the
  entry point for an AWS web service. The AWS SDKs and the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) automatically uses the
  default endpoint for each service in an AWS Region. But you can specify an alternate endpoint for your API requests.
  Find more information on [AWS service endpoints](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html).
* **Profile Name**: A named profile is a collection of settings and credentials that you can apply to an AWS CLI command.
  When you specify a profile to run a command, the settings and credentials are used to run that command.
  Multiple named profiles can be stored in the config and credentials files.
  You can inform this field if you'd like to use a profile other than `default`.
  Find more information about [Named profiles for the AWS CLI](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-profiles.html).
* **Assume Role Arn**: Typically, you use `AssumeRole` within your account or for cross-account access. In this field you'll set the
  `ARN` (Amazon Resource Name) of the policy of the other account.
  A user who wants to access a role in a different account must also have permissions that are delegated from the account
  administrator. The administrator must attach a policy that allows the user to call `AssumeRole` for the `ARN` of the role in the other account.
  This is a required field if you'd like to `AssumeRole`.
  Find more information on [AssumeRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html).

<Tip>
  **Tip**: When using Assume Role authentication, ensure you provide the following details:

  * **AWS Region**: Specify the AWS region for your deployment.
  * **Assume Role ARN**: Provide the ARN of the role in your AWS account that Collate will assume.
</Tip>

* **Assume Role Session Name**: An identifier for the assumed role session. Use the role session name to uniquely identify a session when the same role
  is assumed by different principals or for different reasons.
  By default, we'll use the name `OpenMetadataSession`.
  Find more information about the [Role Session Name](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html#:~:text=An%20identifier%20for%20the%20assumed%20role%20session.).
* **Assume Role Source Identity**: The source identity specified by the principal that is calling the `AssumeRole` operation. You can use source identity
  information in AWS CloudTrail logs to determine who took actions with a role.
  Find more information about [Source Identity](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html#:~:text=Required%3A%20No-,SourceIdentity,-The%20source%20identity).

<Tip>
  **Tip**: When using a **Hybrid Ingestion Runner**, any sensitive credential fields—such as passwords, API keys, or private keys—must reference secrets using the following format:

  ```
  password: secret:/my/database/password
  ```

  This applies **only to fields marked as secrets** in the connection form (these typically mask input and show a visibility toggle icon).
  For more information about managing secrets in hybrid setups, see the [Hybrid Ingestion Runner Secret Management Guide](/ai-2-0/getting-started/lets-get-started/ingest-your-data/hybrid-ingestion-runner#manage-secrets)
</Tip>

#### Test Connection

Once the credentials have been added, click on **Test Connection** and **Save** the changes.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/test-connection.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=3365cff7bb9d82c85a2ff9ab559d6f11" alt="Test Connection" width="1446" height="188" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/test-connection.png" />

### Step 5: Configure Ingestion Options

In the **What to Ingest** step, use filter patterns to control which assets Collate ingests from your pipeline service. Filter patterns use regular expressions applied to pipeline names.

#### How Filter Patterns Work

* **Include**: Add one or more comma-separated regular expressions. Collate ingests only assets whose names match at least one expression. Leave blank to include all assets.
* **Exclude**: Add one or more comma-separated regular expressions. Collate skips any asset whose name matches an expression. Leave blank to exclude nothing.

Rules match asset names using one of five expressions:

* **contains**: matches any name containing the value. For example, `sales` matches `my_sales_data` and `sales_2024`.
* **starts with**: matches names beginning with the value. For example, `prod_` matches `prod_db` and `prod_schema`.
* **ends with**: matches names ending with the value. For example, `_raw` matches `events_raw` and `logs_raw`.
* **is exactly**: matches the exact name only. For example, `analytics` matches only `analytics`.
* **matches regex**: matches names using a regular expression. For example, `^prod_.*_v\d+$` matches `prod_events_v1`.

When both Include and Exclude are set, Exclude takes priority.

<Tip>
  **Tip**: Leave the filter pattern empty to ingest all pipelines available in the source.
</Tip>

**Filter Options**

The Pipeline section includes the following filter options:

* **Pipeline**: Controls which pipelines (DAGs, jobs, or workflows) Collate ingests from the source.

Each section provides the following controls:

* **Scan Mode**: You can choose between the following scan modes:
  * **Scan all**: Ingests every asset of that type the connector can access. This is the default.
  * **Only specific**: Enables include rules so only assets matching at least one rule are ingested.
* **Exclude system toggle**: Use this toggle to automatically filter out system-reserved names defined by the connector — for example, **Exclude system databases** for the Databases section.
* **Always exclude**: Add permanent exclusion rules (shown in red). Assets matching these rules are never ingested, regardless of include rules.
* **Preview**: Shows a real-time summary of what will be in scope based on your current rules.
* **Include rules** *(available only in **Only specific** mode)*: Click **+ Add** to define a rule. Added rules appear as chips; an asset is included if it matches any rule.

<Tip>
  **Tip**: If [AutoPilot](/ai-2-0/admin-guide/applications/autopilot) is enabled, lineage between pipeline tasks and data assets is tracked automatically after the first metadata ingestion completes.
</Tip>

### Step 6: Create & Deploy

Click **Create & Deploy** to deploy the agent and start the first metadata ingestion run. Collate saves the service configuration and immediately begins pulling metadata from the source.

To monitor ingestion progress or view the service you just added, go to **Connections** in the left navigation and select your service.

## Configure Metadata Agent and Schedule Ingestion

The **Metadata Agent** extracts pipelines, tasks, and other structural metadata from your source and keeps your Collate catalog in sync. It powers discovery, lineage, and governance across your data assets.

When you click **Create & Deploy**, Collate automatically deploys a Metadata Agent for this service and triggers the first ingestion run. View its status and run history from the **Agents** tab on the service detail page.

To configure the additional Metadata Agent and schedule ingestion, follow these steps:

1. In the left navigation, click **Connections** and select your service.

2. Click the **Agents** tab.

3. Click **Add Agent** and select **Metadata** from the dropdown.
   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/add-metadata-agent.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=accad7d1c4ddf209781bff851d51d464" alt="Add Metadata Agent" width="2398" height="1144" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/add-metadata-agent.png" />
   For some services, the dropdown is not available and clicking **Add Agent** takes you directly to the agent configuration page.

4. On the **Configure Ingestion** page, do the following and click **Next**.

   * **Name this Ingestion**: Enter a unique recognizable name for this ingestion pipeline.

     <img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/metadata-agent-name.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=d5ec1f0f3742cadab8cd54c602c97239" alt="Name this Ingestion" width="1578" height="644" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/metadata-agent-name.png" />

   * **Agent Setup**: Configure the core parameters for this agent. The following fields are available:

     | Field                        | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

   * **Filter Patterns**: Apply include or exclude rules to scope which pipelines this agent ingests. These follow the same filter options described in **Step 5**.

     <img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/tVR0kaoXvgs3p2Wx/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/pipeline-filter-pattern.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=tVR0kaoXvgs3p2Wx&q=85&s=46f6f78c05d40a88a3fe9471f0f31505" alt="Filter Patterns" width="1550" height="374" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/Pipeline/pipeline-filter-pattern.png" />

   * **Scope & Behaviour**: Control what metadata to include and how to handle deletions. Toggle each option on or off based on your needs:

     | Toggle            | Default | Description                                                                                                                                                            |
     | ----------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     | Enable Debug Log  | Off     | Sets the ingestion log level to DEBUG. Useful for troubleshooting.                                                                                                     |
     | Override Metadata | Off     | When on, source values overwrite existing descriptions, tags, owners, and display names in Collate. When off, Collate only updates fields that have no existing value. |
     | Override Lineage  | Off     | When on, existing lineage is replaced with newly extracted lineage on each run.                                                                                        |

5. On the **Schedule Interval** page, set when the agent runs:

   * **Schedule**: Choose a preset interval (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly) or enter a custom cron expression.
   * **On-Demand**: No automatic schedule; trigger the agent manually when needed.

   <img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1/public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/schedule.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bv5oe4uRjuorTJO1&q=85&s=25cc1d78f6f2a8bd115830d034d1d8d1" alt="Schedule Interval" width="1588" height="1044" data-path="public/images/ai-2.0/connectors/metadata-ingestion/schedule.png" />

6. Click **Add** to deploy the agent.
