Add Enrichment Datastore
This guide walks you through creating an enrichment datastore on its own, starting from the Enrichment Datastores page. An enrichment datastore is where Qualytics writes quality metadata and results back (anomaly details, remediation tables, and record enrichment), so you get full visibility into your data quality.
Supported Connectors
Not every connector can host an enrichment datastore. See Supported Enrichment Datastores for the list, and the individual connector page for field details. The User Guide panel on the right side of the page shows the setup guide for whichever connector you select.
Field reference
Besides the connection fields, which belong to the connector you select, the Enrichment Datastore page is organized in three sections:
Connection Properties
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection Name | Text | A name that identifies the connection, so other datastores can reuse it later. New Connection only; when reusing an existing connection, the Connection Properties come already filled in and read-only. | |
| Secrets Management | Option | Retrieves credentials from a secrets manager instead of typing them in. Once the secrets manager is configured, use ${key} in any connection property to reference a key from the stored secret. New Connection only. |
Enrichment Extraction
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enrichment Extraction | Text / Option | Where Qualytics writes the enrichment tables inside the connected system (for example, a database and schema, or a folder path). The exact fields depend on the connector; see its page for details. |
Enrichment Properties
| FIELD | REQUIRED | TYPE | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | The name of the new enrichment datastore. | |
| Teams | Option | One or more teams to associate with the enrichment datastore. |
Steps
There are two ways to set up the enrichment datastore's connection: reuse a connection you already saved (Existing Connection) or create a new one from scratch (New Connection). The tabs below walk through each option; pick the one you want to follow. Each field is described in the Field reference above.
Create the enrichment datastore reusing the credentials of a saved connection. This option is offered when at least one saved connection supports enrichment.
Step 1: Navigate to the Enrichment Datastores page.
Step 2: Click the Add Enrichment Datastore button at the top-right corner.
Step 3: The Enrichment Datastore page opens.
Step 4: Select Existing Connection next to the Search field.
Step 5: Select the connection you want to reuse from the grid. Each card shows the connection name and its connector; use the search field to filter by name. The Connection Properties come already filled in and read-only.
Start a new connection from this one
To use the selected connection as a starting point for a brand-new connection instead, click the Duplicate as a new connection button on the selected connection. The form switches to New Connection mode with the connection's settings already filled in for you to adjust.
Step 6: Fill in the Enrichment Extraction fields (for example, the database and schema Qualytics writes to) and the Enrichment Properties: the enrichment datastore Name and the Teams that can access it.
Step 7: Click Test connection. A success message confirms that the connection has been verified.
Step 8: Click Create.
Step 9: A success dialog confirms that your enrichment datastore has been added. Click Go to your enrichment datastore to open it.
Create the enrichment datastore from scratch, setting up a new connection with its own credentials.
Step 1: Navigate to the Enrichment Datastores page.
Step 2: Click the Add Enrichment Datastore button at the top-right corner.
Step 3: The Enrichment Datastore page opens.
Step 4: Select New Connection next to the Search field.
Step 5: Select a connector from the grid. Only connectors that can host an enrichment datastore are listed; use the search field to filter by name.
Step 6: Fill in the Connection Properties: give the connection a Connection Name that other datastores can reuse later, enter the connector's connection fields, and optionally expand Secrets Management to retrieve credentials from a secrets manager.
Note
Once a secrets manager is configured under Secrets Management, you can use ${key} in any connection property to reference a key from the stored secret. Each time the connection is initiated, the corresponding secret value is retrieved dynamically.
Step 7: Fill in the Enrichment Extraction fields (for example, the database and schema Qualytics writes to) and the Enrichment Properties: the enrichment datastore Name and the Teams that can access it.
Step 8: Click Test connection. A success message confirms that the connection has been verified.
Step 9: Click Create.
Step 10: A success dialog confirms that your enrichment datastore has been added. Click Go to your enrichment datastore to open it.
Link It to a Source Datastore
The new datastore appears in the Enrichment Datastores list, ready to be linked to a source datastore so scans can write results to it.
