QuickSight assets app

||Connect docs via MCP

The QuickSight assets app crawls Amazon QuickSight dashboards, analyses, datasets, and folders and publishes them to Atlan. Build it with the AtlanQuicksight builder.

Creating an app creates a new connection

Each create mints a new connection and new assets. To re-crawl, re-run the existing workflow (see Re-run an existing app).

IAM authentication

Python

QuickSight crawling with IAM credentials

from pyatlan.client.atlan import AtlanClient
from pyatlan.model.apps import AtlanQuicksight

client = AtlanClient()

response = (
    AtlanQuicksight(client)
    .iam( # (1)
        username="AKIA...", # (2)
        password="••••••", # (3)
        region="us-east-1", # (4)
        accountid="123456789012", # (5)
    )
    .connection(
        name="production-quicksight",
        admin_roles=[client.role_cache.get_id_for_name("$admin")],
    )
    .include_folders({"folder-id-1": {}}) # (6)
    .run(name="quicksight-prod")
)
print(response.slug, response.run_id)

1. Step 1—Credential. AWS access key/secret auth; the secret is vaulted.
2. Required. AWS access key.
3. Required. AWS secret key.
4. Required. AWS region.
5. Required. AWS account id.
6. Step 3—Metadata. Folders to crawl ({folder_id: {}}). Omit to crawl all folders.

Configuration options

All metadata options are optional:

Python

QuickSight metadata configuration

(
    AtlanQuicksight(client)
    .iam(username="AKIA...", password="••••••", region="us-east-1", accountid="123456789012")
    .connection(name="production-quicksight", admin_roles=[...])
    .include_folders({"folder-id-1": {}}) # (1)
    .exclude_folders({"folder-id-2": {}}) # (2)
    .fetch_all_assets_without_folder(True) # (3)
    .run(name="quicksight-prod")
)

1. Folders to include ({folder_id: {}}). Exclude takes priority over include.
2. Folders to exclude.
3. Also fetch assets not linked to any folder (datasets, analyses, dashboards).
