Viewing metadata collectors summary page
The metadata collector summary page shows a list of all the collector runs feeding data into an organization's Catalog. Use this page to see the sources powering your catalog as well as the status of the most recent run.
This page lists the collectors run using the Connection Manager and the collectors that are run on-premise.
Collector runs appear on this page when the metadata harvested by the collector is successfully uploaded to the ddw-catalogs dataset.
The page displays all collector runs for collector version 2.60 and higher.

On the Organization profile page, go the Settings page.
Go to the Metadata collectors section. The following information is available for each run of the collector:
