Original Slack Thread

<@U06TM7M40RK> how come the “ingestion” tab does not appear in my Datahub web UI? On my Datahub, I am admin and I am running version 0.13.1.

The absence of the “Ingestion” tab in your DataHub UI could be due to several reasons. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

  1. Privileges: Ensure that you have the necessary privileges assigned to your account. According to the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/0.13.1/ui-ingestion|DataHub UI Ingestion documentation>, you need the “Manage Metadata Ingestion” and “Manage Secrets” privileges to view and manage UI-based metadata ingestion. These can be granted by a Platform Policy.

  2. Configuration: Check if the managed_ingestion feature is enabled in your configuration. As per a <Slack discussion>, setting managed_ingestion to true in your configuration file might be necessary.

  3. DataHub Version: Ensure that you are using a version of DataHub that supports UI-based ingestion. Starting from version 0.8.25, DataHub supports creating, configuring, scheduling, and executing batch metadata ingestion using the UI, as mentioned in the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/0.13.1/ui-ingestion|UI Ingestion documentation>.

  4. Container Health: Verify that all necessary containers, especially the datahub-actions container, are running. This container is responsible for executing requests to run ingestion. You can check the health of the container using docker ps and inspect logs using docker logs <container-id>, as suggested in the <https://datahubproject.io/docs/0.13.1/ui-ingestion#debugging-a-failed-ingestion-run|UI Ingestion documentation>.

  5. Deployment Issues: If you are using Docker, ensure that your deployment includes all necessary components. A <https://github.com/datahub-project/datahub/issues/4187|GitHub issue> mentioned that missing the datahub-actions container in the deployment can cause issues with UI ingestion.
