The Edge topic in the Collibra Community is dedicated to supporting users working with Collibra Edge, the platform’s integration layer for harvesting metadata and lineage. It's a space to explore setup guidance, troubleshoot scaling issues, manage secure credential integration, and share best practices for running Edge in environments like Kubernetes and cloud platforms.

Edge Site Going Offline
Hi, Has anyone faced problem where the edge sites keep going offline or becoming unhealthy, when the profiling runs for long hours or when the location where edge site is installed is rebooted. We have had this happen multiple times and each time we work with support but there is no root cause identified. We checked with the AWS platform team where the edge site is hosted and they also couldn’t fine a root cause . The solution has been the same each time so far, to uninstall and reinstall. It has been quite frustrating not getting this stabilized or knowing the root cause. Have you experienced anything similar or any other issues with Edge?

Java 17 on Edge Server Instance

One of our customer is planning to install Java 17 on Edge Server to address the vulnerabilities. Now i just wanted to know that do we have any impact to the Edge Server because of Java 17? Your suggestion will be helpful for us.

Managing domains where Edge ingest Dataplex schema metadata
Hello, We currently have an connection to Dataplex using Edge connector. When ingesting technical schema from Dataplex into Collibra, they all are going in the same domain. Is there a way to have the database asset ingested into the technology asset domain and schema, tables and columns ingested into the physical data dictionary domain? I'm assuming it can be done with the Domain Include Mapping option documented here - Synchronize via the Google Dataplex Catalog ingestion How would I configure the pattern project > location > entryGroup > parentEntry > childEntry to do that? Thank you!

Backing up Edge sites installed via Helm
We are in the process of moving our edge site to AKS and due to internal policies we are using the helm chart install method. We are scheduling a regular back using the below command provided by Collibra: Back up an Edge site kubectl get -n <my-namespace> secrets -l edge.collibra.com/backup -o yaml > <PATH_OF_BACKUP_FILE> I've noticed that over time this file is getting very large. On inspection, we now have hundreds of secrets named job.<GUID> . These appear to be transient secrets for specific jobs that presumably should be deleted when the job has finished. So do we need these job secrets? If possible I'd like to filter them from our backup files but I don't want to break anything!

Migrating Edge from K3S to AKS with vault integration
We currently have Edge installed in Azure VMs using K3S. We are using Azure Key Vault for secret management with managed identity authentication. We plan to migrate to Azure Kubernetes Service but the documentation doesn't really cover this type of migration, or what happens with vaults. I believe the migration process is: Backup your current edge site and save the file uninstall the current edge site Install on AKS supplying the backup file I have two questions related to this: What happens with the key vault in this scenario? Does installing from the backup recreate it as-is or do I need to recreate the integration and update the edge connections? Is managed identity authentication supported when Edge is running on AKS? The docs state: "In order to use the Managed Identity assigned to Azure Virtual Machine authentication method, you must install your Edge site inside of the Azure VM." but this is ambiguous. Does this mean it only works if you have on K3S on an azure VM and that AKS is not supported? Or does it mean the AKS nodes have to be Azure VMs? https://productresources.collibra.com/docs/collibra/latest/Content/Edge/EdgeSecurity/ta_integrate-edge-with-vault.htm

Technical lineage through IICS
Hi All, Has anyone tried data lineage through IICS. I am trying to create a connection, but it is asking me IICS userid and password. People in my organization uses single sign on for logging to IICS. Is there any way we can do this without having password? Looking for suggestions.

Edge JDBC Driver Jar
I have successfully created a JDBC connection for my Edge site. For this connection, I uploaded my JDBC driver jar as per the documentation. Now I want to create a new JDBC connection for another database. Both my databases are SQL Server. Therefore, the JDBC Driver Jar files are the same. Previously, with Jobserver, I only had to upload my JDBC driver file once, and I could use the same JDBC driver file for every connection to a SQL Server database. But now with Edge it appears that I have to upload the JDBC driver file for every new connection on my site, even if the driver file is the same file that I uploaded previously. Why does Edge require me to upload the same JDBC driver file multiple times. Does this impact how I am charged for use of the Collibra-provider JDBC driver files?

Scaling Edge on AKS
We have Edge on K3s at present and as we have hundreds of databases to sync we've hit capacity limits. We have setup an Azure Kubernetes Cluster in our dev environment and migrated our dev Edge site. The nodepool has autoscaling enabled, but Edge never seems to prompt it to scale. Even if I submit 100 jobs at once it sticks to the initial node capacity. Is there any way to change this behaviour? Collibra's Edge FAQ indicates Edge sites are horizontally scalable on AKS but doesn't give any instructions to make this happen.

Edge Site Offline - Read Only
Hello, I saw a post that asked about this but it was over a year old, so I thought I'd ask now. Both my dev and prod environments have gone offline and I can't seem to get them back online. We've restarted the environments for both in the admin consoles and rebooted the servers. Do I really need to delete and reinstall my edge sites altogether, or is there something else that can be done? I have a support ticket to Collibra about this, just thought I'd ask the community in the meantime. The last time this happened it was only a day or so until an upgrade finished.
