How to Set Up Bots

The default account for any ingestion pipeline deployed from the UI is ingestion-bot. To configure ingestion-bot from the UI, go to the settings page and access the Bots tile.

You can either create a new bot or update the existing ingestion-bot.

Update ingestion-bot

Click on ingestion-bot and you will be redirected to it's details page, there you can

• Revoke the token if already present
• Copy the generated token

• Generate new token

Create a new bot

Click the Add bot button, and you will be directed to the bot creation page. Fill in the required details and then click on the Create button.

Notes:

1. ingestion-bot

The ingestion-bot bot is created (or updated if it already exists) as a system bot that cannot be deleted, and the credentials used for this bot, if they did not exist before, will be the ones present in the OpenMetadata configuration. Otherwise, a JWT Token will be generated to be the default authentication mechanism of the ingestion-bot.

2. JWT Token auth mechanism

If you decide to configure a JWT Token for the authentication mechanism ensure that you have also the value http://localhost:8585/api/v1/system/config/jwks in your publicKeyUrls list:

• For bare metal configuration:

• For docker configuration, the value to be updated is AUTHENTICATION_PUBLIC_KEYS:

• In the case of kubernetes, you have to update publicKeys values:

3. Redeploying ingestion pipelines

When the ingestion-bot is updated, we must redeploy our ingestion pipelines since the credentials used by the bot have been updated, and they will no longer be valid.
