How to set up Google Datastream
Updated over a week ago

Use this connector to have Foundational scan and determine lineage and downstream impact for Google Datstream pipelines.

This setup should take about 5 minutes.

You need to have permissions for creating a service account (iam.serviceAccounts.create) and assigning a service account to a project (Project admin)

1. Create a service account for Foundational

If you already created one, you can skip this step and use the one you already have.

  1. Go into the IAM & Admin page of your Google Cloud account

  2. Select “Service Accounts” in the left menu, and then select the relevant Google Cloud project

  3. Create a new Service Account

  4. Fill in the account details

    1. Select a name (Can be any name you'd like)

    2. Select the “Datastream Viewer” as the role for the account

    3. Click Done to save the account

2. Create a key for the service account

  1. Now that the new account is created, select it from the Service Accounts page

  2. Next, we need to add a key to the account. Click on the Keys tab, and then on the Add Key button

  3. Create a new key

  4. Select JSON as the Key type and click Create

  5. Download the newly created key to your local machine

3. Configure Datastream connector in Foundational

  1. Go to the Connectors page

  2. Click on Datastream

  3. Click on "Upload New Account Key"

  4. Upload the JSON key file from the previous step

  5. That's it! You are done.
