Connect Databricks Deltalake

Connect your Databricks Deltalake source to Bigeye.

1. Allow Bigeye's IP address

If you've set up network policies to restrict the IP addresses that communicate with your Databricks Deltalake instance, modify these policies to allow the Bigeye IP address.

Bigeye makes calls to your warehouse from the following static IP:

35.163.65.120

2 Give Bigeye access to Databricks

2.1 Generate an access token in the Databricks UI

An access token is needed for Bigeye to connect to Databricks. We recommend that you create a service principal and generate an access token for that service principal.

  1. Create service principal by following these instructions from Databricks. Note the service principal's application id
  2. Give access token permissions to the service principal by following these instructions from Databricks.
  3. Generate an access token for the service principal by following these instructions from Databricks.
