Sources

38 source types105 examples

A source is a connection to a system you already run — a database, a data lake, a collaboration tool, a content platform. Classifyre scans it, turns its contents into assets, runs detectors over them, and records any findings. Each source type below has its own reference page — what it extracts, what it needs to connect, and every setting — and the concept guides explain the ideas they all share.

Learn the concepts

How Sources WorkWhat a source is, the parts of its configuration, and the journey from connecting a system to producing findings.Configuration & FieldsRequired (mandatory), masked (secret), and optional fields — how they are validated and how secrets are stored.Sampling StrategiesAutomatic, Latest, Random, and All — how each works, what the controls do, and how to choose.OCR & TranscriptionRead text inside images and documents, and turn audio and video into text for detectors.Testing & SchedulingConfirm a source connects before scanning, then automate scans on a recurring schedule.Assets & MetadataWhat a scan produces — assets, their kinds and change status, the metadata attached to each, and how it feeds detectors.Lineage & RelationshipsWhere data came from and what breaks if it changes — the relationship classes, column-level lineage, and which sources report it.
