Fully Qualified Names

Fully Qualified Names are globally unique case-sensitive resource identifiers that you can use with Dataplex to refer to Google Cloud and non-Google Cloud resources. They are composed of a prefix followed by segments delimited with dots. The maximum length is 4,000 characters.

Predefined formats

The following table lists recommended predefined formats for the automatic ingestion of metadata from Google Cloud.

Surround segments that contain reserved characters, such as colons, dots, and whitespace, with backticks. Use double backticks to specify a backtick within a segment.

Custom formats

You can create a custom fully qualified name format by using the custom: prefix. Custom formats are not validated, and may not be compatible with Dataplex features. To ease future migration, create custom formats that are similar to predefined formats.
