Troubleshooting BigQuery collector issues
Collector runtime and troubleshooting
The catalog collector may run in several seconds to many minutes depending on the size and complexity of the system being crawled.
If the catalog collector runs without issues, you should see no output on the terminal, but a new file that matching *.dwec.ttl should be in the directory you specified for the output.
If there was an issue connecting or running the catalog collector, there will be either a stack trace or a *.log file. Both of those can be sent to support to investigate if the errors are not clear.
A list of common issues and problems encountered when running the collectors is available here.
Issue: Credential file not found
Cause: The credential file was not found on the Docker container.
Solution: Check that the path for the credential file is properly mounted. You will need to mount a local directory containing the credential file with a directory on the Docker container. The --credentialFile should be the path to the directory on the container with the credential file.
Issue: Correct credentials not set for the service account
Cause: An exception occurs while reading the credentials file.
Solution: Check that the credentials file contains the correct credential information required for running the collector.
