Looker
The Looker integration connects your Looker environment directly to Harmony, bringing license and usage data into the same place as your other SaaS applications. Once configured, Harmony automatically fetches key information from Looker so your team can monitor adoption, track spending, and make informed decisions about your Looker subscription - without switching between tools.
What Harmony Collects from Looker
After you connect Looker, Harmony surfaces the following data from your environment:
License type - see which Looker license tier your organization is on, giving you a clear picture of what you are entitled to use
Login trends - track how frequently users are accessing Looker over time, so you can identify active users, spot drop-offs, and understand overall adoption
Cost data - where available, Harmony pulls cost information associated with your Looker usage, helping you tie spend to actual utilization
This data appears alongside your other connected applications in Harmony, making it straightforward to compare Looker adoption and spend against the rest of your SaaS portfolio.
Prerequisites
Before setting up the Looker integration, make sure you have the following:
A Looker account with admin-level access
Permission to create and manage API credentials in Looker
Access to the Harmony Integrations settings in your organization
Connecting Looker to Harmony
To set up the Looker integration:
In Harmony, navigate to Integrations and select SaaS Applications.
Locate Looker in the list of available integrations and click Connect.
When prompted, enter your Looker API credentials. You can generate these from the Admin panel in Looker under Users - select your admin user and create a new API key.
Provide your Looker instance URL so Harmony knows which environment to connect to.
Click Save to complete the connection.
Once connected, Harmony will begin fetching data from your Looker environment. Initial data may take a short time to appear depending on the size of your Looker instance.
Viewing Looker Data in Harmony
After the integration is active, you can find your Looker data in the Harmony dashboard under your connected SaaS applications. From there you can:
Review your current license tier and compare it against actual usage
Examine login trend charts to understand how adoption has changed over time
Check cost data to evaluate whether your current Looker plan aligns with the value your team is getting from the tool
Use this information alongside data from your other integrated applications to identify underutilized licenses, optimize spend, or build a case for scaling up or down your Looker subscription.
Disconnecting Looker
To remove the Looker integration:
In Harmony, navigate to Integrations and select SaaS Applications.
Find Looker in your list of connected applications.
Click Disconnect and confirm the action.
Harmony will stop fetching data from Looker. Any historical data already collected will remain available in Harmony until it is manually cleared.
