Datalogz BI Pillars

As BI Ops advocates, we believe that maintaining a healthy and efficient Business Intelligence (BI) environment requires focusing on three essential pillars: Security Monitoring, BI Governance, and Platform Administration. These pillars serve as the foundation of our product and define how we help organizations ensure their BI environments are secure, compliant, and performant.

Security Monitoring

Security Monitoring is the continuous oversight of the BI environment to ensure that data access, usage, and overall security protocols are compliant with organizational policies and industry standards. In a world where data breaches and unauthorized access can have serious consequences, security monitoring is a critical aspect of BI management.

BI Governance

BI Governance is the framework that controls the structure, management, and usage of BI assets across an organization. Effective governance ensures that data is accurate, consistent, and compliant with organizational policies and industry standards. It encompasses data quality, usage, lifecycle management, and access control.

Platform Administration

Platform Administration refers to the oversight, configuration, and management of the BI infrastructure, ensuring that the system operates smoothly and supports the organization's reporting needs. It includes managing users, permissions, system updates, performance optimizations, and capacity usage (PowerBI only).

How it works?

Datalogz helps address these three pillars by leveraging Datalogz Default Monitors.

These monitors are pre-configured or user-customized SQL-based queries designed to track issues across each pillar. They continuously scan the BI environment for anomalies, rule breaches, or inefficiencies. For example, Datalogz Monitors can identify unauthorized access attempts for Security Monitoring, flag outdated or inconsistent reports for BI Governance, track user permissions and system configurations for Platform Administration. For PowerBI users, we can help monitor resource usage to prevent capacity overloads. Alerts generated by these monitors are surfaced directly in the platform, allowing users to take immediate action and maintain optimal performance, security, and governance across their BI tools.

Additionally, Datalogz offers the option for users to create their own custom monitors, allowing organizations to define their own pillars and track their BI environment based on internal governance and specific business needs. This flexibility enables users to tailor monitoring to unique security, performance, and governance goals, ensuring that every aspect of their BI infrastructure is optimized and aligned with internal standards. Alerts generated by both default and custom monitors are surfaced within the platform, enabling immediate action and ensuring optimal performance and compliance across all BI tools.
