About the SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) collector
Important
This collector is available in Private Preview. If you would like access to this collector, please contact your Customer Success Director.
Use this collector to harvest metadata from SQL Server Integration Services which includes information on projects, packages, control flow and data flow elements, environment, environment variables, parameters, executions and operations.
Additionally, it gathers lineage information between control flow and data flow elements in a package and external data source such as SQL Server, Excel file, XML file or flat file (simple two-dimensional storage format to store data where the fields are usually separated by delimiters like commas (CSV), tabs (TSV), or spaces). The collector can collect metadata from both the project deployment model and the package deployment model.
Note
The latest version of the Collector is 2.247. To view the release notes for this version and all previous versions, please go here.

Supported cross-system lineage
The currently supported data sources for cross-system lineage are:
SQL Server
Important
While other data sources are not formally supported, running the collector for those sources may still enable you to view cross-system lineage between SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and these sources.
Authentication supported
The SQL Server Integration Services collector supports authentication via SQL Server Authentication and NTLM Authentication.
