Asset catalog
The Asset catalog provides fine-grained visibility of tasks, pipelines, accounts and the relationships between them to deliver the following benefits:
- One-stop governance for DataOps
- Simplified impact analysis for System Architects
- Clear identification of reusable assets for Data Integrators
- The ability to add business-specific, contextual metadata for Data Analysts
- Factual: Verifiable attributes directly captured by the SnapLogic Platform such as: task name, pipeline name, task type, owner, schedule, execution details, and associated Snap accounts.
- Inferred: Attributes implicitly derived using factual metadata with reasonable assumptions, such as source and destination endpoints.
- Supplemented: Custom metadata that Environment admins add to the catalog.
The Asset catalog lists all tasks, pipelines, and accounts in the environment and offers convenient navigation to referenced and related assets. Select a task, pipeline, or account to view more information, including related assets. Select a related asset to view its details. In a just a few clicks, you can discover:
- All pipelines that reference a specific account.
- All tasks associated with a specific pipeline.
- All executions of a specific pipeline from a specific task.
- Pipelines related to a specific pipeline as parent or child.
Asset catalog visibility
By default, the Asset catalog is only visible to Environment admins. On the Admin Manager Asset catalog page, you can make the catalog visible to non-admins. Non-admins can only view assets, they can't add or edit custom metadata.
