Question 1

Which technologies are supported?

Accepted Answer

{openAudit} analyzes more than 30 technologies covering databases,
ETL/ELT, Big Data platforms, data lakes, and dataviz solutions.
New parsers are developed on an ongoing basis.

Question 2

Is data lineage reconstructed automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Collectors and parsers automatically and daily analyze
technical metadata to reconstruct the dependencies between
sources, transformations, and usage, with no external intervention. Nothing is declarative.

Question 3

Can parsing results be used in other ways?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The metadata produced by parsing is centralized in
a technical repository that can be published in the format of the Client&rsquo;s choice
(database, Parquet, CSV, etc.). This documented repository can
be used by your own tools or by the analysis engines provided
by Ellipsys to run very fine-grained analyses: dependency
search, tracing how a specific business rule is spread across the system, etc.

Question 4

Does {openAudit} analyze business data?

Accepted Answer

No. The solution works exclusively on technical metadata
(scripts, models, processes, configurations, audit logs).
Any business data that may be analyzed (audit logs used to determine usage)
is anonymized upstream of parsing by a dedicated container. The output of the containerized
probes consists of CSV files that can be reviewed before any external push.

Question 5

Can the repository be shared with a data catalog?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The {openAudit} repository can be browsed directly through our
proprietary web framework or feed solutions such as DataGalaxy,
Collibra, or Zeenea, so that data catalog users
can benefit from genuine technical data lineage derived
from actual parsing.
