Workflow Deployment Error

If there were any errors during the workflow deployment process, the Ingestion Pipeline Entity will still be created, but no workflow will be present in the Ingestion container.

• You can then Edit the Ingestion Pipeline and Deploy it again.
• From the Connection tab, you can also Edit the Service if needed.

Connector Debug Troubleshooting

This section provides instructions to help resolve common issues encountered during connector setup and metadata ingestion in OpenMetadata. Below are some of the most frequently observed troubleshooting scenarios.

How to Enable Debug Logging for Any Ingestion

To enable debug logging for any ingestion workflow in OpenMetadata:

1. Navigate to Services Go to Settings > Services > Service Type (e.g., Database) in the OpenMetadata UI.

2. Select a Service Choose the specific service for which you want to enable debug logging.

Select a Service

3. Access Ingestion Tab Go to the Ingestion tab and click the three-dot menu on the right-hand side of the ingestion type, and select Edit.

Access Agents Tab

4. Enable Debug Logging In the configuration dialog, enable the Debug Log option and click Next.

Enable Debug Logging

5. Schedule and Submit Configure the schedule if needed and click Submit to apply the changes.

Permission Issues

If you encounter permission-related errors during connector setup or metadata ingestion, ensure that all the prerequisites and access configurations specified for each connector are properly implemented. Refer to the connector-specific documentation to verify the required permissions.

Consumer and schema registry config

When configuring the Kafka connector, we could need to pass extra parameters to the consumer or the schema registry to be able to connect. The accepted values for the consumer can be found in the following link, while the ones optional for the schema registry are here.

If you encounter issues connecting to the Schema Registry, ensure that the protocol is explicitly specified in the Schema Registry URL. For example:

• Use http://localhost:8081 instead of localhost:8081. The Schema Registry requires a properly formatted URL, including the protocol (http:// or https://). While this differentiation is expected in the Schema Registry configuration, it may not be immediately apparent.

In case you are performing the ingestion through the CLI with a YAML file, the service connection config should look like this:

Connecting to Confluent Cloud Kafka

If you are using Confluent kafka and SSL encryption is enabled you need to add security.protocol as key and SASL_SSL as value under Consumer Config
