Managing your monitors just got smarter! You can now create multiple monitors in one streamlined process. Here’s what’s new:
Monitor creation
⚡ Bulk monitor creation: Set up monitors for hundreds of resources in one go. For example, filter your integration for all production-verified tables and apply a freshness monitor to ensure they’re always up to date.
🎯 Required owner assignment: Assign an owner upon monitor creation to ensure clear accountability from the start.
📬 Optional subscribers: Add subscribers during creation to keep your team in the loop on critical updates without extra steps later.
Job Monitors
New job monitors for dbt and Airflow to enhance your pipeline workflows. We're excited to introduce three powerful new monitor types to help you gain better visibility into your jobs and workflows. Here's how they can help:
Job monitor
🕙 Job duration: Monitor how long your jobs take from start to finish. Identify performance trends and address bottlenecks to keep things running efficiently.
✅ Job success rate: Track the percentage of jobs that complete successfully to maintain reliability and ensure your systems are in top shape.
⚠️ Job error rate: Keep an eye on job failures and errors. Quickly identify problematic jobs and maintain a smooth, error-free system.
Follow the improved monitor creation flow steps mentioned above and get a better view into the health of your pipeline jobs!
