Create a Glean connection

Beta

This feature is in Beta. Workspace admins can control access to this feature from the Previews page. See Manage Databricks previews.

Create a Glean connection in Catalog Explorer to store authentication credentials for Lakeflow Connect ingestion. Any user with the USE CONNECTION privilege on the connection can then create Glean ingestion pipelines without needing direct access to the credentials.

Alternatively, admin users can create a connection and a pipeline at the same time in the data ingestion UI. See Ingest data from Glean.

For privilege requirements, see Connect to managed ingestion sources.

Prerequisites​

Complete the Glean source setup. Use the credentials retrieved there to create the connection.

Create a connection​

  1. In the Databricks workspace, click Data icon. Catalog > Create > Create a connection.
  2. On the Connection basics page of the Set up connection wizard, specify a Connection name.
  3. In the Connection type drop-down menu, select Glean.
  4. (Optional) Add a comment.
  5. Click Next.
  6. On the Authentication page, enter the following credentials from Configure authentication to Glean:
    • Subdomain: Your Glean deployment subdomain. For example, if your Glean instance is at https://mycompany.glean.com, enter mycompany.
    • API Token: Your Glean Client API token. The token must carry both the Insights and Shortcuts scopes.
  7. Click Create connection.
