Integrate GX Cloud with Atlan

Atlan is a centralized catalog and collaboration hub for data governance that helps teams understand what data they have and how it flows. Meanwhile, Great Expectations Cloud enables teams to define, validate, and monitor data quality. You can integrate GX Cloud with Atlan to surface data quality insights directly in Atlan’s metadata layer, and make Atlan’s data catalog and lineage information accessible from your GX Cloud Data Assets.

To integrate GX Cloud with Atlan, you will first get your GX Cloud credentials and then configure the Great Expectations Cloud workflow in Atlan.

Get your credentials

Prerequisites:

• A GX Cloud account with Organization Owner permissions.

Get an organization access token, your organization ID, and your workspace ID so you can set your GX Cloud credentials in Atlan.

1. In GX Cloud, click Tokens.
2. In the Organization access tokens pane, click Create organization access token.
3. In the Token name field, enter a name for the token that will help you quickly identify it.
4. Click Create.
5. Copy and then paste the organization access token into a temporary file. The token can't be retrieved after you close the dialog.
6. Click Close.
7. Copy the value in the Organization ID field into the temporary file with your organization access token.
8. In the Workspace ID pane, find the relevant Workspace name, then copy the associated ID into the temporary file with your other credentials and save the file.

GX recommends deleting the temporary file after you set your credentials in Atlan.
