# Datasource

A Lakewatch datasource: a pipeline that ingests security data and writes it to Unity
 Catalog tables.

 What a datasource ingests is defined by its ingestion method (`autoloader`,
 `unity_catalog_connection`, or `existing_table`), which sets how the data arrives,
 together with its `parsers`, which define the schemas that the arriving data is matched
 against and written as.
