Preflight checks for Looker
Preflight checks don't validate Git clone credentials for either the SSH or HTTPS clone method. Only the Looker API connection is validated during preflight checks.
Before running the Looker crawler, you can run preflight checks to perform the necessary technical validations. The following preflight checks are completed:
Projects view capability
First, the list of projects in the Include Projects and Exclude Projects fields is determined. Next, the Query Projects REST API is used to fetch the actual list of projects for which the user has view capability.
✅ Check successful if all the projects from the first list are in the second one.
❌ Check failed for $missingProject
Folders view capability
First, the list of folders in the Include Folders and Exclude Folders fields is determined. Next, the Query Projects REST API is used to fetch the actual list of folders for which the user has view capability.
✅ Check successful if all the folders from the first list are in the second one.
❌ Check failed for $missingFolder
S3
✅ Check successful if the bucket, region, and prefix combination is valid and the S3 credential passed is accessible.
❌Check failed with error code <AWS error code> - <AWS SDK ERR message>
For example: Miner S3 credentials: failed with error code: NoSuchBucket
