Topic

Why it matters

Databricks user persona

The workflow depends on your Databricks user persona:

  • Single-user: An admin user creates a Unity Catalog connection and an ingestion pipeline.
  • Multi-user: An admin user creates a connection for non-admin users to create pipelines with.

Interface

The steps to create a pipeline depend on the interface.

Ingestion frequency

The pipeline schedule depends on your latency and cost requirements.

Common patterns

Depending on your ingestion needs, the pipeline might use configurations like history tracking, column selection, and row filtering. Supported configurations vary by connector. See Feature availability.

Start ingesting from Slack Access and Integration Logs

User

Steps

Admin

  1. Configure Slack to enable authentication from Databricks. See Configure authentication to Slack.
  2. Use Catalog Explorer to create a connection to Slack so that non-admins can create pipelines. See Create a Slack Access and Integration Logs connection.

Non-admin

Use any supported interface to create a pipeline from an existing connection. See Ingest data from Slack Access and Integration Logs.
