Integrating GitHub with Osano

Connecting to GitHub


In order for Osano to discover data stored in your systems, we must connect to those data providers via an API. We require, at minimum, read-only access to establish a connection to these providers. Each provider you connect may require different information. Please see the linked vendor documentation for instructions on where and how to obtain this data.


Setup

An admin must create a OAuth2 and enter that information in Osano to establish a connection via oauth.
