Connect to Anomalo

Anomalo is a data quality validation platform that ensures accurate, complete, and consistent data that is in line with your expectations. By connecting to Databricks, Anomalo brings a unifying layer that ensures you can trust the quality of your data before it is consumed by various business intelligence and analytics tools or modeling and machine learning frameworks.

You can integrate your Databricks clusters and Databricks SQL warehouses (formerly Databricks SQL endpoints) with Anomalo.

Connect to Anomalo using Partner Connect

To connect your Databricks workspace to Anomalo using Partner Connect, see Connect to data governance partners using Partner Connect.

Note

Partner Connect only supports Databricks SQL warehouses for Anomalo. To connect a cluster in your Databricks workspace to Anomalo, connect to Anomalo manually.

Connect to Anomalo manually

This section describes how to connect an existing SQL warehouse or cluster to Anomalo manually.

Requirements

Before you connect to Anomalo manually, you must have the following:

• A cluster or SQL warehouse in your Databricks workspace.

  • Compute configuration reference.

  • Create a SQL warehouse.

• The connection details for your cluster or SQL warehouse, specifically the Server Hostname, Port, and HTTP Path values.

  • Get connection details for a Databricks compute resource.

• A Databricks personal access token. To create a personal access token, follow the steps in Databricks personal access tokens for workspace users.

  Note

  As a security best practice when you authenticate with automated tools, systems, scripts, and apps, Databricks recommends that you use OAuth tokens.

  If you use personal access token authentication, Databricks recommends using personal access tokens belonging to service principals instead of workspace users. To create tokens for service principals, see Manage tokens for a service principal.
