Get Embedded and Published Datasource information with the Tableau connector #4762

Closed djrmarques closed 2 years ago

djrmarques commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No datasources are shown when using the Tableau connector.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to see the following information on the UI when using the Tableau connector:

  1. Datasource Lineage: Which dashboards, charts and other datasources are connected to a given datasource. Also what are the external services (Redshift, Athena, a file, etc..) that are connected to the Datasource. This information should show on the Lineage graph on the UI, assuming all the relevante metadata was ingested. For example, if I ingested a table on Redshift and there is a datasource on Tableau connected to this table, this connection should be apparent on the UI.
  2. Metadata related to the datasource such as which user owns the datasource, when it was created, etc..
  3. Fields on datasources (particularly published datasources) should be searchable. This would allow analysts to reuse existing datasources.

Describe alternatives you've considered None so far

Hey @djrmarques

Fields on datasources (particularly published datasources) should be searchable. This would allow analysts to reuse existing datasources.

what I understand from this is you want to search based on column names of table linked to the dashboard, if yes then this feature is already supported in OMD and we can close this issue.

if no then can you please elaborate on the same.
