New Additions

Service Accounts

Service accounts in Bigeye are non human identities designed for secure programmatic access to Bigeye APIs and SDKs. Unlike regular user accounts, service accounts are not tied to an individual and are intended for use by automated systems such as data pipelines, monitoring tools, and internal applications

Added

Metrics

  • Advanced setting for Snowflake dynamic tables in Freshness & Volume metrics
  • Resolution suggestions on metric detail page

SDS

  • Added daily GDF consumption tracking, which computes usage against contracted limits for billing purposes
  • Backend: support query counts for "number of positive findings"
  • Backend: set partition column for a table that failed to split

Lineage

  • Added sensitivity legend
  • Added the ability to expand table nodes in table-level lineage to view column-level connections on demand
  • Added the ability to expand table nodes in the lineage graph to view and search their columns inline, without navigating away from the graph (requires the preview.lineage_search_columns_in_tll.enabled feature flag)
  • Sensitivity data (finding state, sensitivity level, and data classes) is now available on lineage nodes when viewing with the sensitivity lens
  • Added "Highlight this column" option to the column context menu, which overlays column-level lineage on top of the existing table-level graph by dimming unrelated nodes and edges
  • Added "Set as anchor node" action to node and column context menus, allowing users to navigate directly to a node's lineage page
  • Added focus mode for column-level lineage — when viewing columns inline in an expanded table node, clicking "Focus on this column" filters the graph to show only the tables relevant to that column's lineage path and displays column-level edges between them. Use "Exit focus mode" from the node menu to restore the full graph view (requires the preview.lineage_search_columns_in_tll.enabled feature flag)
  • Added pagination to the inline column list on expanded table nodes, showing up to 10 columns at a time with next/previous controls
  • Focus mode and highlight mode are now stored in the URL, allowing them to persist across page refreshes and be shared via link

Service accounts

  • Added new create menu for users that includes service account option
  • Added service account flag to user records
  • Added service accounts feature flags
  • API updates to manage service account API keys
  • Added API to create a service account
  • Notifications for service account API keys being created/deleted
  • New API to list all service account API keys in the company

Catalog

  • Added an Issues tab to the rule detail page showing current and past issues for the rule

Issues

  • Added support for metricIds query parameter on the issues list page

Service Accounts

  • Added service account edit modal

Indexing

  • Added feature flag to enable oracle to index schemas, tables, and columns that do not have select access

Notifications

  • Added Slack and email notifications for SQL rules and join rules with rule-specific labels, locations, and links

Updated

Catalog

  • For unified catalog items, put the child objects tab before the lineage tab
  • Hide lineage tab for expansive container-level node types (schemas, folders, workspaces, projects) when lineage for schema is disabled
  • When a catalog entity has multiple child types, each child now shows a badge indicating its type
  • Changed the Edit button on the source detail page to be a default (secondary) button

Lineage

  • Re-ordered lineage sensitivity menus
  • In Simple view, the status hat is now hidden on non-focused nodes to reduce visual noise
  • Prevention suggestions in the lineage view are now only shown when the Issues view type is active
  • Lineage RUM events now include a secondaryAction flag that distinguishes initial page loads from subsequent user actions such as changing depth or switching view type
  • Renamed "Current node" to "Anchor node" in the lineage legend
  • Highlight mode now shows column-level nodes grafted into the table-level graph, with non-active nodes and edges faded

SDS

  • Add clarifying description to confidence thresholds in UI
  • Tweak schedule-filter options for ScanJob/ScanRun fetch
  • Length validation for user-supplied fields
  • Store table sizes as part of indexing

Snowflake

  • Set disablePlatformDetection=true to reduce the number of error logs produced by snowflake

Platform

  • Enabled user preferences by default for all workspaces

Metrics

  • Change schedule to companion instead of failing validation

Notifications

  • Support generic test notifications for Slack

Access

  • Pass in tables and columns being accessed

Issue

  • Enabled grouped metric improvements by default, including retaining metric groups when absent or on failure and the improved issue feedback experience

Service accounts

  • Prevent service account (and robot) emails from being shown in application

temporal

  • upgrade temporal server to 1.29.6

Fixed

Catalog

  • Fix a bug where expanding a tree node only showed the first 200 children
  • Fixed an issue where catalog path items for custom data node entities showed an unspecified node type
  • Fixed an issue where schemas with linked monitoring could be hidden, causing linked metrics to lose their table connections
  • Fixed a hydration error on catalog pages that caused slow page loads and visual flashes when the catalog explorer sidebar was expanded
  • Fixed an issue where Bigeye Virtual Schema would show custom rules that were associated with internal virtual tables
  • Fixed an issue where join rules did not show the active issue indicator in the right-hand pane

Groups

  • Further prevent IDP group linkings with whitespace in them

Issues

  • Fixed AI-generated issue descriptions incorrectly identifying the monitored column for custom monitoring metrics with multiple columns or linked assets
  • Correctly refresh overviews on button click

Lineage

  • Fixed alignment and wording of the error message shown when lineage fails to load
  • Added heartbeat to custom repository sync to catch/retry if a worker dies rather than just waiting for 2 hours
  • Fix bug where view was not persisting between page loads
  • Fixed CSV export of nodes and edges to reflect the currently selected lineage view (Simple, Issues, or Sensitivity)
  • Custom repository icons and node types now display correctly when the "Optimized queries" advanced setting is enabled
  • Fixed a timeout error when downloading the lineage graph as a CSV for large lineage graphs
  • Fixed an issue where assumed parent edges created during a custom repository sync were incorrectly soft-deleted on subsequent syncs
  • Improve performance of assumed edge creation
  • Fixed an issue where custom repository sync would skip edge creation for nodes that were previously deleted and re-added
  • Fixed issue where assumed edges were being followed from parent nodes in lineage
  • Fixed the lineage graph firing duplicate requests on load due to view type initializing with a default before the stored preference was applied

Metrics

  • Correctly process relative thresholds for volume metrics
  • Fixed a divide-by-zero error in the Harmonic Mean metric when column values include both positive and negative numbers whose reciprocals cancel out, or when all column values are null
