This plugin extracts the following:

• Sigma Workspaces and Workbooks as Container.
• Sigma Datasets
• Pages as Dashboard and its Elements as Charts

Integration Details

This source extracts the following:

• Workspaces and workbooks within that workspaces as Container.
• Sigma Datasets as Datahub Datasets.
• Pages as Datahub dashboards and elements present inside pages as charts.

Configuration Notes

1. Refer doc to generate an API client credentials.
2. Provide the generated Client ID and Secret in Recipe.

Advanced Configurations

Chart source platform mapping

If you want to provide platform details(platform name, platform instance and env) for chart's all external upstream data sources, then you can use chart_sources_platform_mapping as below:

Example - For just one specific chart's external upstream data sources

    chart_sources_platform_mapping:
      'workspace_name/workbook_name/chart_name_1': 
        data_source_platform: snowflake
        platform_instance: new_instance
        env: PROD

      'workspace_name/folder_name/workbook_name/chart_name_2': 
        data_source_platform: postgres
        platform_instance: cloud_instance
        env: DEV

Example - For all charts within one specific workbook

    chart_sources_platform_mapping:
      'workspace_name/workbook_name_1': 
        data_source_platform: snowflake
        platform_instance: new_instance
        env: PROD
      
      'workspace_name/folder_name/workbook_name_2': 
        data_source_platform: snowflake
        platform_instance: new_instance
        env: PROD

Example - For all workbooks charts within one specific workspace

    chart_sources_platform_mapping:
      'workspace_name': 
        data_source_platform: snowflake
        platform_instance: new_instance
        env: PROD

Example - All workbooks use the same connection

    chart_sources_platform_mapping:
      '*': 
        data_source_platform: snowflake
        platform_instance: new_instance
        env: PROD

CLI based Ingestion

Install the Plugin

The sigma source works out of the box with acryl-datahub.

Starter Recipe

Check out the following recipe to get started with ingestion! See below for full configuration options.

For general pointers on writing and running a recipe, see our main recipe guide.

source:
  type: sigma
  config:
    # Coordinates
    api_url: "https://aws-api.sigmacomputing.com/v2"
    # Credentials
    client_id: "CLIENTID"
    client_secret: "CLIENT_SECRET"
    
    # Optional - filter for certain workspace names instead of ingesting everything.
    # workspace_pattern:
    #   allow:
    #     - workspace_name

    ingest_owner: true
    
    # Optional - mapping of sigma workspace/workbook/chart folder path to all chart's data sources platform details present inside that folder path.
    # chart_sources_platform_mapping:
    #   folder_path:
    #     data_source_platform: postgres
    #     platform_instance: cloud_instance
    #     env: DEV
