dbt

There are 2 sources that provide integration with dbt

Source ModuleDocumentation

dbt

The artifacts used by this source are:

  • dbt manifest file
    • This file contains model, source, tests and lineage data.
  • dbt catalog file
    • This file contains schema data.
    • dbt does not record schema data for Ephemeral models, as such datahub will show Ephemeral models in the lineage, however there will be no associated schema for Ephemeral models
  • dbt sources file
    • This file contains metadata for sources with freshness checks.
    • We transfer dbt's freshness checks to DataHub's last-modified fields.
    • Note that this file is optional – if not specified, we'll use time of ingestion instead as a proxy for time last-modified.
  • dbt run_results file
    • This file contains metadata from the result of a dbt run, e.g. dbt test
    • When provided, we transfer dbt test run results into assertion run events to see a timeline of test runs on the dataset Read more...

dbt-cloud

This source pulls dbt metadata directly from the dbt Cloud APIs.

You'll need to have a dbt Cloud job set up to run your dbt project, and "Generate docs on run" should be enabled.

The token should have the "read metadata" permission.

To get the required IDs, go to the job details page (this is the one with the "Run History" table), and look at the URL. It should look something like this: https://cloud.getdbt.com/next/deploy/107298/projects/175705/jobs/148094. In this example, the account ID is 107298, the project ID is 175705, and the job ID is 148094. Read more...

Ingesting metadata from dbt requires either using the dbt module or the dbt-cloud module.

dbt meta automated mappings​

dbt allows authors to define meta properties for datasets. Checkout this link to know more - dbt meta. Our dbt source allows users to define actions such as add a tag, term or owner. For example if a dbt model has a meta config "has_pii": True, we can define an action that evaluates if the property is set to true and add, lets say, a pii tag. To leverage this feature we require users to define mappings as part of the recipe. The following section describes how you can build these mappings. Listed below is a meta_mapping and column_meta_mapping section that among other things, looks for keys like business_owner and adds owners that are listed there.

meta_mapping:
  business_owner:
    match: ".*"
    operation: "add_owner"
    config:
      owner_type: user
      owner_category: BUSINESS_OWNER
  has_pii:
    match: True
    operation: "add_tag"
    config:
      tag: "has_pii_test"
  int_property:
    match: 1
    operation: "add_tag"
    config:
      tag: "int_meta_property"
  double_property:
    match: 2.5
    operation: "add_term"
    config:
      term: "double_meta_property"
  data_governance.team_owner:
    match: "Finance"
    operation: "add_term"
    config:
      term: "Finance_test"
  terms_list:
    match: ".*"
    operation: "add_terms"
    config:
      separator: ","
  documentation_link:
    match: "(?:https?)?\:\/\/\w*[^#]*"
    operation: "add_doc_link"
    config:
      link: {{ $match }}
      description: "Documentation Link"
column_meta_mapping:
  terms_list:
    match: ".*"
    operation: "add_terms"
    config:
      separator: ","
  is_sensitive:
    match: True
    operation: "add_tag"
    config:
      tag: "sensitive"

We support the following operations:

  1. add_tag - Requires tag property in config.
  2. add_term - Requires term property in config.
  3. add_terms - Accepts an optional separator property in config.
  4. add_owner - Requires owner_type property in config which can be either user or group. Optionally accepts the owner_category config property which can be set to either a custom ownership type urn like urn:li:ownershipType:architect or one of ['TECHNICAL_OWNER', 'BUSINESS_OWNER', 'DATA_STEWARD', 'DATAOWNER' (defaults to DATAOWNER).
  5. add_doc_link - Requires link and description properties in config. Upon ingestion run, this will overwrite current links in the institutional knowledge section with this new link. The anchor text is defined here in the meta_mappings as description.

Note:

  1. The dbt meta_mapping config works at the model level, while the column_meta_mapping config works at the column level. The add_owner operation is not supported at the column level.
  2. For string meta properties we support regex matching.

With regex matching, you can also use the matched value to customize how you populate the tag, term or owner fields. Here are a few advanced examples:

Data Tier - Bronze, Silver, Gold​

If your meta section looks like this:

meta:
  data_tier: Bronze # chosen from [Bronze,Gold,Silver]

and you wanted to attach a glossary term like urn:li:glossaryTerm:Bronze for all the models that have this value in the meta section attached to them, the following meta_mapping section would achieve that outcome:

meta_mapping:
  data_tier:
    match: "Bronze|Silver|Gold"
    operation: "add_term"
    config:
      term: "{{ $match }}"

to match any data_tier of Bronze, Silver or Gold and maps it to a glossary term with the same name.

Case Numbers - create tags​

If your meta section looks like this:

meta:
  case: PLT-4678 # internal Case Number

and you want to generate tags that look like case_4678 from this, you can use the following meta_mapping section:

meta_mapping:
  case:
    match: "PLT-(.*)"
    operation: "add_tag"
     config:
       tag: "case_{{ $match }}"

Stripping out leading @ sign​

You can also match specific groups within the value to extract subsets of the matched value. e.g. if you have a meta section that looks like this:

meta:
  owner: "@finance-team"
  business_owner: "@janet"

and you want to mark the finance-team as a group that owns the dataset (skipping the leading @ sign), while marking janet as an individual user (again, skipping the leading @ sign) that owns the dataset, you can use the following meta-mapping section.

meta_mapping:
  owner:
    match: "^@(.*)"
    operation: "add_owner"
    config:
      owner_type: group
  business_owner:
    match: "^@(?P<owner>(.*))"
    operation: "add_owner"
    config:
      owner_type: user
      owner_category: BUSINESS_OWNER

In the examples above, we show two ways of writing the matching regexes. In the first one, ^@(.*) the first matching group (a.k.a. match.group(1)) is automatically inferred. In the second example, ^@(?P<owner>(.*)), we use a named matching group (called owner, since we are matching an owner) to capture the string we want to provide to the ownership urn.

dbt query_tag automated mappings​

This works similarly as the dbt meta mapping but for the query tags

We support the below actions -

  1. add_tag - Requires tag property in config.

The below example set as global tag the query tag tag key's value.

"query_tag_mapping":
{
   "tag":
      "match": ".*"
      "operation": "add_tag"
      "config":
        "tag": "{{ $match }}"
}

Integrating with dbt test​

To integrate with dbt tests, the dbt source needs access to the run_results.json file generated after a dbt test execution. Typically, this is written to the target directory. A common pattern you can follow is:

  1. Run dbt docs generate and upload manifest.json and catalog.json to a location accessible to the dbt source (e.g. s3 or local file system)
  2. Run dbt test and upload run_results.json to a location accessible to the dbt source (e.g. s3 or local file system)
  3. Run datahub ingest -c dbt_recipe.dhub.yaml with the following config parameters specified
    • test_results_path: pointing to the run_results.json file that you just created

The connector will produce the following things:

  • Assertion definitions that are attached to the dataset (or datasets)
  • Results from running the tests attached to the timeline of the dataset

Separating test result emission from other metadata emission​

You can segregate emission of test results from the emission of other dbt metadata using the entities_enabled config flag. The following recipe shows you how to emit only test results.

source:
  type: dbt
  config:
    manifest_path: _path_to_manifest_json
    catalog_path: _path_to_catalog_json
    test_results_path: _path_to_run_results_json
    target_platform: postgres
    entities_enabled:
      test_results: Only

Similarly, the following recipe shows you how to emit everything (i.e. models, sources, seeds, test definitions) but not test results:

source:
  type: dbt
  config:
    manifest_path: _path_to_manifest_json
    catalog_path: _path_to_catalog_json
    run_results_path: _path_to_run_results_json
    target_platform: postgres
    entities_enabled:
      test_results: No
