Sigma assets package

The Sigma assets package crawls Sigma assets and publishes them to Atlan for discovery.

Will create a new connection

This should only be used to create the workflow the first time. Each time you run this method it will create a new connection and new assets within that connection — which could lead to duplicate assets if you run the workflow this way multiple times with the same settings.

Instead, when you want to re-crawl assets, re-run the existing workflow (see Re-run existing workflow below).

2.0.3 1.9.0

To crawl assets directly from Sigma:

  1. The SigmaCrawler package will create a workflow to crawl assets from Sigma.
  2. You must provide Atlan client.
  3. You must provide a name for the connection that the Sigma assets will exist within.
  4. You must specify at least one connection admin, either:

    • everyone in a role (in this example, all $admin users).
    • a list of groups (names) that will be connection admins.
    • a list of users (names) that will be connection admins.
  5. You can specify whether you want to allow queries to this connection (true, as in this example) or deny all query access to the connection (false).

  6. You can specify whether you want to allow data previews on this connection (true, as in this example) or deny all sample data previews to the connection (false).
  7. You can specify a maximum number of rows that can be accessed for any asset in the connection.
  8. When crawling assets directly from Sigma, you are required to provide the following information:

    • hostname of the Sigma host, for example aws-api.sigmacomputing.com
  9. You must provide client ID through which to access Sigma.

  10. You must provide API token through which to access Sigma.
  11. You can also optionally specify the list of workbooks to include in crawling. For Sigma assets, this should be specified as a list of workbook GUIDs. If set to null, all workbooks will be crawled.
  12. You can also optionally specify the list of workbooks to exclude from crawling. For Sigma assets, this should be specified as a list of workbook GUIDs. If set to null, no workbooks will be excluded.
  13. Build the minimal package object.
  14. Now, you can convert the package into a Workflow object.
  15. You can then run the workflow using the run() method on the object you've created.

    Workflows run asynchronously

    Remember that workflows run asynchronously. See the packages and workflows introduction for details on how you can check the status and wait until the workflow has been completed.

  13. Run the workflow by invoking the run() method on the workflow client, passing the created object.

Create the workflow via UI only

We recommend creating the workflow only via the UI. To rerun an existing workflow, see the steps below.

Re-run existing workflow

1.9.5 1.10.6

To re-run an existing workflow for Sigma assets:

Re-run existing Sigma workflow

List<WorkflowSearchResult> existing = WorkflowSearchRequest // (1)
            .findByType(SigmaCrawler.PREFIX, 5); // (2)

// Determine which of the results is the
// Sigma workflow you want to re-run...
WorkflowRunResponse response = existing.get(n).rerun(); // (3)
  1. You can search for existing workflows through the WorkflowSearchRequest class.
  2. You can find workflows by their type using the findByType() helper method and providing the prefix for one of the packages. In this example, we do so for the SigmaCrawler. (You can also specify the maximum number of resulting workflows you want to retrieve as results.)
  3. Once you've found the workflow you want to re-run, you can simply call the rerun() helper method on the workflow search result. The WorkflowRunResponse is just a subtype of WorkflowResponse so has the same helper method to monitor progress of the workflow run.

    • Optionally, you can use the rerun(true) method with idempotency to avoid re-running a workflow that is already in running or in a pending state. This will return details of the already running workflow if found, and by default, it is set to false

  2. Once you've found the workflow you want to re-run, you can simply call the workflow client rerun() method.

    • Optionally, you can use rerun(idempotent=True) to avoid re-running a workflow that is already in running or in a pending state. This will return details of the already running workflow if found, and by default, it is set to False.

  1. Find the existing workflow.
  2. Send through the resulting re-run request.

  1. Searching by the atlan-sigma prefix will ensure you only find existing Sigma assets workflows.

    Name of the workflow

    The name of the workflow will be nested within the _source.metadata.name property of the response object. (Remember since this is a search, there could be multiple results, so you may want to use the other details in each result to determine which workflow you really want.)

  1. Send the name of the workflow as the resourceName to rerun it.
