Frequently asked questions
Can I build custom observability dashboards using Sifflet data?
Absolutely! With Sifflet's Data Sharing, you can connect your favorite BI tools like Looker, Tableau, or Power BI to our shared tables. This lets you build tailored dashboards and reports using real-time metrics from your observability data, helping you track KPIs, monitor SLA compliance, and visualize trends across teams or domains.
How do logs contribute to observability in data pipelines?
Logs capture interactions between data and external systems or users, offering valuable insights into data transformations and access patterns. They are essential for detecting anomalies, understanding data drift, and improving incident response in both batch and streaming data monitoring environments.
Why is data observability becoming essential for modern data teams?
As data pipelines grow more complex, data observability provides the visibility needed to monitor and troubleshoot issues across the full stack. By adopting a robust observability platform, teams can detect anomalies, ensure SLA compliance, and maintain data reliability without relying on manual checks or reactive fixes.
How can organizations choose the right observability tools for their data stack?
Choosing the right observability tools depends on your data maturity and stack complexity. Look for platforms that offer comprehensive data quality monitoring, support for both batch and streaming data, and features like data lineage tracking and alert correlation. Platforms like Sifflet provide end-to-end visibility, making it easier to maintain SLA compliance and reduce incident response times.
What kind of data quality monitoring does Sifflet offer when used with dbt?
When paired with dbt, Sifflet provides robust data quality monitoring by combining dbt test insights with ML-based rules and UI-defined validations. This helps you close test coverage gaps and maintain high data quality throughout your data pipelines.
Can Sifflet help me monitor data drift and anomalies beyond what dbt offers?
Absolutely! While dbt is fantastic for defining tests, Sifflet takes it further with advanced data drift detection and anomaly detection. Our platform uses intelligent monitoring templates that adapt to your data’s behavior, so you can spot unexpected changes like missing rows or unusual values without setting manual thresholds.
How does the new Custom Metadata feature improve data governance?
With Custom Metadata, you can tag any asset, monitor, or domain in Sifflet using flexible key-value pairs. This makes it easier to organize and route data based on your internal logic, whether it's ownership, SLA compliance, or business unit. It's a big step forward for data governance and helps teams surface high-priority monitors more effectively.
How do JOIN strategies affect query execution and data observability?
JOINs can be very resource-intensive if not used correctly. Choosing the right JOIN type and placing conditions in the ON clause helps reduce unnecessary data processing, which is key for effective data observability and real-time metrics tracking.
