Features

Assets

The Glue plugin discovers and catalogs AWS Glue resources including jobs, databases, tables and crawlers. It captures metadata such as job configurations, table schemas, crawler schedules and database properties. Iceberg-managed tables are automatically skipped (use the dedicated Iceberg plugin instead).
