Connect an external catalog to use tagging capabilities outside of Immuta and pull tags from external table schemas. Once the catalog has been connected, Immuta ingests a data dictionary from the catalog and applies data source and column tags directly to the data source. These tags can then be used to create policies.

Getting started

This getting started guide outlines how to use external catalogs in Immuta to gain value from all three Immuta modules: Discover and Secure.
