Our specialized config module landing page has been crafted to provide you with a straightforward journey as you create and view a range of monitoring test types for your valuable data assets.

Grouped-by monitors have now been moved within the setup flow of each Test Type. Adjust your Schema Drift and Job Failure settings directly from the All monitors page.

Overview for Create Tab with different Monitor cards

When users navigate to our Config > Create tab, Here, users have the opportunity to create and manage different monitoring types.

Our type of monitoring types include:

• Freshness: Monitors how long it's been since the table was last updated and creates an incident if it's been too long for a period of time.
• Volume: Keeps track of how many rows are added to the table and creates an incident if it goes over the threshold.
• Field Health: Out-of-the-box tests are available for columns to check for null values, uniqueness, range (min/max), and cardinality.
• Custom SQL: Create your own monitoring queries in SQL to address specific test cases.

When monitoring is activated for an asset, you can find a list of active, inactive, and disabled monitors under the All Monitors Tab.
