In Atlan, Bigeye creates announcements and draft certificates for assets that have open issues in Bigeye. The announcements identify the total number of new and acknowledged issues and provide a link for users to navigate directly to a table’s issues page within the product. Draft certificates are created to appear in the Atlan lineage.

Once all issues are closed within Bigeye, the announcement and certificate are removed from the asset in Atlan the next time the agent runs. To identify the appropriate assets in Atlan, add the qualified name of the connection to the corresponding source in Bigeye. Ensure that you have selected Enable Atlan Integration under Settings > Advanced Settings > Integrations in Bigeye.

The integration relies on custom metadata and badges to surface additional information from Bigeye. These include the following:

• Links from the asset in Atlan to the table in Bigeye
• The total number of metrics deployed on an asset
• A percentage score of those that are healthy
• The current status of Freshness, if monitored
• The current status of Volume, if monitored
• Additional health information, broken down by metric group. (See available metrics to learn how metrics are grouped within Bigeye.)
• A color-coded badge, based on the percentage of healthy score
