Persisted Data Source Creation Tutorial

Audience: Data Owners

Content Summary: Unlike all other data sources, Persisted data sources do not retrieve data from a designated back-end storage technology. Instead, Data Owners can upload blobs to Persisted data sources (via the UI or API Calls), and Immuta handles the blob storage.

This guide outlines how to configure a Persisted data source in Immuta. To explore data source creation guides for other storage technologies, see the Object-backed and Query-backed guides.

Persisted Data Source Creation

The only configuration option for Persisted data sources is the data format. Specifying the data format here allows you to create masking policies for the data source.

Uploading Files

Data Owners can easily upload files to Persisted data sources through the Immuta UI.

  1. Navigate to the Data Source details page.

  2. Click the drop-down button in the top right of the page and select Upload.

  3. In the resulting modal, fill out the fields with your desired directory structure, event time attribute, tags, and metadata for the blob(s) that you upload. You can drag and drop or select multiple files to upload at once. The file count will display above these uploaded files.
