Open in new tab

This page will explain how to deactivate a source in K

There are 3 classes of sources:

  1. Identity Stores - These are sources such as Active Directory or LDAP to load User and Group information into K.

  2. Databases - These are sources such as Oracle, Teradata, Snowflake to load metadata and logs from the database source.

  3. Tools - There are sources like Tableau, Alteryx, Informatica to load metadata and logs from the tool.

Known limitations

  • You can only deactivate Databases and Tools currently.

  • Deactivated sources cannot be reactivated. This will be addressed in an upcoming release

This function is restricted to K Administrators

Deactivate a source

  • Select Platform Settings in the side bar

  • In the pop-out side panel, under Integrations click on Sources

  • Click Edit Source on the source you want to deactivate

     

  • Click Deactivate in the top right corner.

  • Confirm the deactivation by clicking on Deactivate.

 

  • Deactivating a source may take some time as the process deactivates all of the source’s items (reports, tables etc).
    Deactivated items can be still be found in Search by using the Active = No filter
