Release date: October 1st, 2024
Enhanced Insights Page
BI Tool-Specific Insights: The Insights page has been enhanced to provide customized visualizations based on the type of BI tool being used. Whether you're using PowerBI, Tableau, or Qlik, the Insights page now adapts to show tailored metrics and trends specific to each tool, helping users better understand their BI environments in the context of the tools they rely on.
Enhanced Default Monitors
More Comprehensive Default Monitors: We’ve upgraded our Default Monitors to be more robust and comprehensive, addressing a broader range of issues under the four pillars of Security Monitoring, BI Governance, Platform Administration, and Capacity Monitoring. These enhanced monitors provide deeper insights into your BI environment, identifying more potential issues and improving the overall monitoring experience.
New Default Monitor Features
Show/Hide Monitors: Users can now choose to show or hide specific monitors, allowing for a more personalized and clutter-free view of their monitoring dashboard.
Clone Monitors: You can now clone default monitors, making it easy to create custom monitors based on existing configurations.
Detailed Monitor Data: Access richer, more detailed data in each monitor. View query logic, underlying metadata, and track changes over time to gain more granular control over your BI monitoring.
Custom Monitors
Create Custom Monitors by Duplicating Default Monitors: Users now have the ability to create custom monitors by duplicating Default Monitors and editing their SQL queries to tailor the monitor to specific needs. These custom monitors can be deleted or further modified, providing full flexibility in how you monitor your BI environment.
My Monitors vs Default Monitors: To keep things organized, we’ve introduced two folders in the Monitor section: My Monitors and Default Monitors. The Default Monitors folder houses the pre-built monitors created by our team, while the My Monitors folder holds user-created monitors, giving you a clear separation between system and custom configurations.
Enhanced Alerts Table
Improved Filtering, Search, and Column Data: We’ve enhanced the Alerts Table to make managing and resolving alerts even more efficient. Users can now apply more granular filters, perform faster searches, and access more detailed column data to quickly identify and address critical issues.
Launch of Teams
Teams Feature: We’ve introduced Teams functionality! Organizations can now create and manage teams within the platform. Teams allow users to collaborate more effectively by organizing groups with shared BI goals and content. Assign BI connectors, workspaces, and assets to specific teams, improving collaboration, accountability, and management across departments.
