Plugins

Meteor is built around three kinds of plugins:

Extractors pull metadata out of sources: databases, dashboards, message queues, and more.
Processors enrich or transform the metadata after extraction.
Sinks deliver the metadata to its destinations.

Read more about how they fit together in Concepts.

Exploring plugins from the CLI

The fastest way to see what is available is the plugins list command:

# list all available plugins
meteor plugins list

# list only extractors
meteor plugins list --type extractor

# list only sinks
meteor plugins list --type sink

# list only processors
meteor plugins list --type processor

# find extractors that emit tables
meteor plugins list --entity-type table

# find extractors that emit lineage
meteor plugins list --edge-type derived_from

# filter extractors by tag
meteor plugins list --tag gcp

# output as JSON
meteor plugins list --format json

To see a single plugin's description, sample config, and full documentation:

meteor plugins info bigquery --full

The same information is in the docs: extractors, processors, and sinks.
