Track external system lineage information

You can track lineage information for external systems that are not supported by automated data lineage tracking (for example, to track data movement operations when moving data in and out of systems that are not supported by automated data lineage tracking).

How to record custom events

Use the Data Lineage API to record custom events as follows:

  1. Create a process using projects.locations.processes.create method.
  2. Create a run using projects.locations.processes.runs.create method.
  3. Create a lineage event using projects.locations.processes.runs.lineageEvents.create method.
