   <p>
      To ingest metadata from your sources, you need to create a service connection.
      The service connects your source system with Collate. Once you create
      a service, you can use it to configure your ingestion workflows.<br />
      <br />
      To create a service connection and ingest your metadata, follow the steps below:
  </p>
  <Steps>
    <Step title="Select the Service">
    <ol>
          <li>
            On the left navigation bar, click <strong>Settings</strong>.
          </li>
          <li>
            On the next page, click <strong>Services</strong>, and then select the service.

          </li>
    </ol>
   </Step>


   <Step title="Create a New Service">
      
       To add a new service connection, click <strong>Add New Service</strong>.
      <img src="/public/images/connectors/create-new-service.png" alt="Create a new Service" />


   </Step>


     <Step title="Select the Connector">
       Select <strong>{connector}</strong> as the service type and click <strong>Next</strong>.


       {selectServicePath && <img src={selectServicePath} alt="Select Service" />}
   </Step>


   <Step title="Name and Describe your Service">
       Enter a unique, descriptive <strong>Service Name</strong> and <strong>Description</strong>.
       <ul>
         <li><strong>Service Name</strong>: Collate identifies services by their service name. Enter a name that distinguishes this deployment from other services, including other {connector} services you are ingesting metadata from.</li>
       </ul>


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


       {addNewServicePath && <img src={addNewServicePath} alt="Add New Service" />}
   </Step>


   <Step title="Configure the Service Connection">
       Set up the connection settings required for {connector}. <br /><br />
      
       Configure the following connection options to set up the service and start ingesting metadata from your sources. The right-hand panel displays help documentation for the selected connection type in the product UI

       {serviceConnectionPath && <img src={serviceConnectionPath} alt="Configure Service connection" />}
   </Step>
   </Steps>

In this section, we provide guides and references to use the Stitch connector.
Configure and schedule Stitch metadata and profiler workflows from the Collate UI:

* [Requirements](#requirements)
* [Metadata Ingestion](#metadata-ingestion)
* [Troubleshooting](/connectors/pipeline/stitch/troubleshooting)

## Requirements

To extract metadata from Stitch, users first need to create API credentials:

* `Token`: Token to access Stitch metadata.

## Metadata Ingestion

<MetadataIngestionUi connector={"Stitch"} selectServicePath={"/public/images/connectors/stitch/select-service.png"} addNewServicePath={"/public/images/connectors/stitch/add-new-service.png"} serviceConnectionPath={"/public/images/connectors/stitch/service-connection.png"} />

## Connection Details

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connection Details">
    * **hostPort**: This parameter specifies the network location where your Stitch instance is accessible, combining both the hostname. It is based on the account and region where user has hosted his/her data pipelines. More about this you can check [here](https://www.stitchdata.com/docs/developers/import-api/api#base-urls)
    * **token**: Token to get access to Stitch metadata. This token is created by user after logging into stitch console. More about this, please check [here](https://www.stitchdata.com/docs/developers/import-api/guides/quick-start#obtain-api-credentials)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test the Connection">
    Once the credentials have been added, click on *Test Connection* and *Save* the changes.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure Metadata Ingestion">
    In this step we will configure the metadata ingestion pipeline,
    Please follow the instructions below

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/12mtkhFtvTP7FUxZ/public/images/connectors/configure-metadata-ingestion-pipeline.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=12mtkhFtvTP7FUxZ&q=85&s=b310e691eaec850bc9eda3ed0b8a340f" alt="Configure Metadata Ingestion" width="1508" height="1614" data-path="public/images/connectors/configure-metadata-ingestion-pipeline.png" />

    #### Metadata Ingestion Options

    * **Name**: This field refers to the name of ingestion pipeline, you can customize the name or use the generated name.
    * **Pipeline Filter Pattern (Optional)**: Use to pipeline filter patterns to control whether or not to include pipeline as part of metadata ingestion.
      * **Include**: Explicitly include pipeline by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Include field. OpenMetadata will include all pipeline with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other schemas will be excluded.
      * **Exclude**: Explicitly exclude pipeline by adding a list of comma-separated regular expressions to the Exclude field. OpenMetadata will exclude all pipeline with names matching one or more of the supplied regular expressions. All other schemas will be included.
    * **Include lineage (toggle)**: Set the Include lineage toggle to control whether to include lineage between pipelines and data sources as part of metadata ingestion.
    * **Enable Debug Log (toggle)**: Set the Enable Debug Log toggle to set the default log level to debug.
    * **Mark Deleted Pipelines (toggle)**: Set the Mark Deleted Pipelines toggle to flag pipelines as soft-deleted if they are not present anymore in the source system.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule the Ingestion and Deploy">
    Scheduling can be set up at an hourly, daily, weekly, or manual cadence. The
    timezone is in UTC. Select a Start Date to schedule for ingestion. It is
    optional to add an End Date.

    Review your configuration settings. If they match what you intended,
    click Deploy to create the service and schedule metadata ingestion.

    If something doesn't look right, click the Back button to return to the
    appropriate step and change the settings as needed.

    After configuring the workflow, you can click on Deploy to create the
    pipeline.

  </Step>

  <Step title="View the Ingestion Pipeline">
    Once the workflow has been successfully deployed, you can view the
    Ingestion Pipeline running from the Service Page.

    <Tip>
      If [AutoPilot](/how-to-guides/admin-guide/applications/autopilot) is enabled, workflows like usage tracking, data lineage, and similar tasks will be handled automatically. Users don’t need to set up or manage them - AutoPilot takes care of everything in the system.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

By successfully completing these steps, the lineage information for the service will be displayed.
