Monitor Types
Pick the monitor type that answers the question you have about your data.
Choosing a monitor type
Each monitor type answers one question about one asset. Start from the question, then open that type's page for what it checks, what you configure, and a worked example.
Did the data arrive on time, or has it gone stale?
Did the expected number of rows land?
Does this column hold the values it should?
Does this business rule hold, possibly across tables?
What each type works on
Freshness and Volume watch a whole table and produce one measurement per run, compared against a Threshold.
Field Health watches a single column, checks every row against a rule, and compares the number of failing rows against a Tolerance. Applicability depends on the column's type, covered in the Field Health overview.
Custom SQL runs a query you write, so it is the type to reach for when the check spans more than one table.
Creating many at once
Templates apply one configuration across many tables, currently for Freshness monitors.
