Looker Integration
Explore usage, dashboard consumption, and data team workflow patterns.
Overview
Analyze Looker usage patterns to understand how data is consumed across your organization. Corvana identifies under-utilized dashboards, query patterns, and data team workflow bottlenecks.
Prerequisites
- Looker admin or owner access to authorize the OAuth connection
- A Corvana Assess account with an active assessment engagement
OAuth Scopes
Corvana requests the minimum necessary permissions — always read-only. The following scopes are requested during the OAuth authorization flow:
| Scope | Access Level |
|---|---|
read | Read-only |
Data We Collect
Corvana collects only structural metadata — never content, PII, or sensitive data. The following data points are analyzed:
- Dashboard view frequency
- Explore query patterns
- User access distribution
- Schedule and alert usage
- Model usage metrics
Data We Never Collect
To protect your privacy and security, the following data is explicitly excluded from collection:
- Never: Query results or data
- Never: LookML model content
- Never: Database credentials
- Never: User PII
- Never: Dashboard content
Setup Steps
Step 1: Navigate to Integrations
From your Corvana Assess dashboard, open the left sidebar and click Integrations.
Step 2: Connect Looker
Find the Looker card and click Connect Looker. This initiates the OAuth flow.
Step 3: Authorize Access
Review the requested permissions on Looker's authorization page and click Allow. Corvana requests read-only access only.
Step 4: Verify Connection
Return to the Corvana dashboard. The Looker card should now show "Connected" with a green indicator. Data collection begins within minutes.
Disconnecting
You can disconnect Looker at any time from the Integrations dashboard. Click the connected Looker card and select Disconnect. All collected metadata is permanently deleted within 24 hours. You can also revoke access directly from Looker's admin panel.
Troubleshooting
The Looker connection shows "Disconnected"
Try reconnecting from the Integrations dashboard. If the issue persists, check that your Looker admin has not revoked the OAuth authorization.
I don't see any data after connecting
Data collection typically begins within 5-10 minutes. If no data appears after 30 minutes, check your connection status and ensure the account has the required permissions.
