Data and Metadata Management
Track data access for entities and manage metadata about entities to perform security audits.
Cloudera Navigator and Metadata Manager
Use Cloudera Navigator and Informatica Metadata Manager together to manage your data and metadata and audit access.
Cloudera Navigator is a data management tool for the Hadoop platform. It contains an auditing component that allows users to track data access for entities in a Hadoop cluster and a metadata component that manages metadata about the entities in a Hadoop cluster.
Metadata Manager is a web-based metadata management tool that you can use to browse and analyze metadata from metadata repositories. Metadata manager helps you understand and manage how information is derived. Metadata Manager extracts metadata about entities in a Hadoop cluster through the metadata component of Cloudera Navigator.
Use Cloudera Navigator and Metadata Manager together to perform data lineage. When you perform data lineage, you can see where data comes, where it is used, and what transformations are applied. For example, you can review who accessed sensitive data as part of a security audit to identify potential data policy violations.
