Azure Purview Scanning client library for .NET - version 1.0.0-beta.2

Azure Purview Scanning is a fully managed cloud service whose users can scan your data into your data estate (also known as your catalog). Scanning is a process by which the catalog connects directly to a data source on a user-specified schedule.

  • Scan your data into your catalog
  • Examine your data
  • Extract schemas from your data

Please rely heavily on the service's documentation and our protocol client docs to use this library

Getting started

Install the package

Install the Azure Purview Scanning client library for .NET with NuGet:

dotnet add package Azure.Analytics.Purview.Scanning --prerelease

Prerequisites

Authenticate the client

Using Azure Active Directory

This document demonstrates using DefaultAzureCredential to authenticate via Azure Active Directory. However, any of the credentials offered by the Azure.Identity will be accepted. See the Azure.Identity documentation for more information about other credentials.

Once you have chosen and configured your credential, you can create instances of the PurviewScanningClient.

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var client = new PurviewScanningClient(new Url("https://<my-account-name>.scan.purview.azure.com"), credential);

Key concepts

Protocol Methods

Operations exposed by the Purview Scanning SDK for .NET use protocol methods to expose the underlying REST operations. You can learn more about how to use SDK Clients which use protocol methods in our documentation.

Thread safety

We guarantee that all client instance methods are thread-safe and independent of each other (guideline). This ensures that the recommendation of reusing client instances is always safe, even across threads.

Additional concepts

Client options | Accessing the response | Long-running operations | Handling failures | Diagnostics | Mocking | Client lifetime

Examples

The following section shows you how to initialize and authenticate your client, then list all of your data sources.

List All Data Sources

var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var client = new PurviewScanningServiceClient(new Uri("https://<my-account-name>.scan.purview.azure.com"), credential);

var response = await client.GetDataSourcesAsync();
var responseDocument = JsonDocument.Parse(response.Content);
Console.WriteLine(responseDocument.RootElement.GetProperty("value"));

Troubleshooting

Setting up console logging

The simplest way to see the logs is to enable the console logging. To create an Azure SDK log listener that outputs messages to console use AzureEventSourceListener.CreateConsoleLogger method.

// Setup a listener to monitor logged events.
using AzureEventSourceListener listener = AzureEventSourceListener.CreateConsoleLogger();

To learn more about other logging mechanisms see here.
