Creating an IAM role for Glue access

In order to provide access to your Glue data catalog, you will create an IAM role with the necessary API permissions:

Copy the policy below, replacing the following placeholders:

<account-id>: the AWS account id.
<data-bucket>: the S3 bucket storing the data for your tables - if more than one, just add the others to the resource list as well.
<region>: you can specify an AWS region or * for the default region.
<database-name>: you can specify a name or * to give Monte Carlo access to all databases.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucket",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::<data-bucket>"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "glue:GetConnections",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:catalog",
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:connection/*"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "glue:GetDatabases",
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:catalog",
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:database/<database-name>"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "glue:GetTables",
                "glue:GetTable",
                "glue:GetPartitions",
                "glue:GetPartition"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:catalog",
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:database/<database-name>",
                "arn:aws:glue:<region>:<account-id>:table/<database-name>/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Follow the steps outlined here to create the IAM role. You will attach the policy from step 1 to this role as part of the process.

Providing role information to Monte Carlo

You will provide connection details for Glue using Monte Carlo's CLI:

Please follow this guide to install and configure the CLI.
Please use the command montecarlo integrations add-glue to set up Glue connectivity. For reference, see help for this command below:

$ montecarlo integrations add-glue --help
Usage: montecarlo integrations add-glue [OPTIONS]

  Setup a Glue integration. For metadata.

Options:
  --region TEXT        Glue catalog region. If not specified the region the
                       collector is deployed in is used.

  --role TEXT          Assumable role ARN to use for accessing AWS resources.
  --external-id TEXT   An external id, per assumable role conditions.
  --collector-id UUID  ID for the data collector. To disambiguate accounts
                       with multiple collectors.

  --skip-validation    Skip all connection tests. This option cannot be used
                       with 'validate-only'.

  --validate-only      Run connection tests without adding. This option cannot
                       be used with 'skip-validation'.

  --auto-yes           Skip any interactive approval.  [default: False]
  --option-file FILE   Read configuration from FILE.
  --help               Show this message and exit.
