Atlas
PRODIngestion Deployment
To run the Ingestion via the UI you'll need to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion Container, which comes shipped with custom Airflow plugins to handle the workflow deployment. If you want to install it manually in an already existing Airflow host, you can follow this guide.
If you don't want to use the OpenMetadata Ingestion container to configure the workflows via the UI, then you can check the following docs to run the Ingestion Framework in any orchestrator externally.

Every table ingested will have a tag name AtlasMetadata.atlas_table. You can find all tags under Governance > Classification.
1. Create Database & Messaging Services
You need to create at least a Database Service before ingesting the metadata from Atlas. Make sure to note down the name, since we will use it to create Atlas Service.
For example, to create a Hive Service you can follow these steps:
1. Visit the Services Page
Click Settings in the side navigation bar and then Services.
The first step is to ingest the metadata from your sources. To do that, you first need to create a Service connection first.
This Service will be the bridge between OpenMetadata and your source system.
Once a Service is created, it can be used to configure your ingestion workflows.
Select your Service Type and Add a New Service
Add a new Service from the Services page
Select your Service from the list
4. Name and Describe your Service
Provide a name and description for your Service.
Service Name
OpenMetadata uniquely identifies Services by their Service Name. Provide a name that distinguishes your deployment from other Services, including the other Hive Services that you might be ingesting metadata from.
Note that when the name is set, it cannot be changed.
Provide a Name and description for your Service
5. Configure the Service Connection
In this step, we will configure the connection settings required for Hive.
Please follow the instructions below to properly configure the Service to read from your sources. You will also find helper documentation on the right-hand side panel in the UI.

2. Atlas Metadata Ingestion
Then, prepare the Atlas Service and configure the Ingestion:
1. Visit the Services Page
Click Settings in the side navigation bar and then Services.
The first step is to ingest the metadata from your sources. To do that, you first need to create a Service connection first.
This Service will be the bridge between OpenMetadata and your source system.
Once a Service is created, it can be used to configure your ingestion workflows.

4. Name and Describe your Service
Provide a name and description for your Service.
