Unable to find DBT as an option while setting up a connection to a database service.

The DBT UI was added to the ingestion pipeline in Release 0.10.1. So, please ensure that you are using the latest version of OpenMetadata.

• Next, create a service connection to a database service. This will prepare the Entity with the proper connection information to your sources.
• Then, when preparing an ingestion via the UI, you will find a step as Configure DBT, with different options to pass the manifest and catalog files.

DBT is not a database service, so as a first step you'd need to prepare a service connection. For example, if you have DBT running on top of a MySQL instance. DBT gives some extra information from the tables already existing in a database service, rather than a specific source. You can read more about DBT integration here.
