Google BigQuery

Self-Managed AI Platform installations

The redirect URI for BigQuery OAuth has been updated to: https://my.datarobot.com/account/google/google_authz_return. The old redirect URI https://my.datarobot.com/account/google/bigquery_authz_return will be deprecated in an upcoming release. For more information, see the BigQuery & Google Drive section of the DataRobot Installation Guide.

Supported authentication

When connecting with OAuth parameters, you must create a new data connection.

To set up a data connection using OAuth:

  1. Follow the instructions for creating a data connection—making sure the minimum required parameters are filled in—and testing the connection.

  2. After clicking Test Connection, a window appears. Click Sign in using Google.

  2. Under Credential type, select Google Cloud Service Account and fill in the required parameters for manual configuration.

  3. Click Save and sign in.

Required parameters

The table below lists the minimum required fields to establish a connection with Google BigQuery:

Required field Description Notes
Projectid A globally unique identifier for your project. See the Google Cloud documentation.
Service Account Key The public/private RSA key pair associated with each service account that can be provided as a JSON string or loaded from a file. See the Google Cloud documentation, List and get service account keys.
Display name A unique identifier for your credentials DataRobot. You can access and manage these credentials under this display name.

Feature considerations

  • You cannot use multiple Google accounts to authenticate Google BigQuery in DataRobot. Once a Google user is authenticated via OAuth, that Google account is used for all the BigQuery data connections for that DataRobot user.
  • If your Google account has a large number of projects, it may take a long time to list schemas, even if the project is filtered with the projectID parameter.
  • External tables created from Google Drive are not supported.
  • If you are connecting to both Google Drive and BigQuery with OAuth authentication, deleting the BigQuery OAuth credential bigquery-oauth will also remove the Google Drive OAuth credential (if it exists).

Troubleshooting

Problem Solution Instructions
When attempting to execute an operation in DataRobot, the firewall requests that you clear the IP address each time. Add all allowed IPs for DataRobot. See Allowed source IP addresses. If you've already added the allowed IPs, check the existing IPs for completeness.

redirect_uri mismatch (self-managed only ) Update the redirect URI for BigQuery. If you were previously using redirect URI https://my.datarobot.com/account/google/bigquery_authz_return, your admin must update the redirect URI to https://my.datarobot.com/account/google/google_authz_return in the Google OAuth configuration. If you need to continue using the old redirect URI, an admin can set the EngConfig BIGQUERY_OAUTH_USE_OLD_REDIRECT_URI to True.
