Catalog

The Catalog tab on the left menu displays all sources connected to Bigeye. Here you can add additional sources as well as view and add monitoring to existing sources.

Catalog: All Sources

When you first arrive on the Catalog page, you will see a list of all sources connected to Bigeye.

Note that sources are separated into two sections: data sources and BI tools.

If you are an admin you will see an Add source button where you can add new data sources and BI tools.

Use the search bar on the left hand side to search for datasets across all sources. Alternatively, you can click into any source to explore the schemas, tables, and columns contained within.

Catalog: Source

Once you click into a data source in the left hand menu, it will expand to show a list of schemas within. Note you can compare schemas by their popularity score.

On the source page, you will see tabs for metrics, issues and schema changes. Each list their corresponding objects associated with the source. For example, the metrics tab lists all metrics deployed on that data source.

The Bigeye catalog is automatically refreshed every 24 hours to identify and display any new datasets available and any schema changes that occurred. You can also refresh the catalog on demand by clicking 'Rescan' on the schema changes tab. Use this to get Bigeye to reflect the latest changes on demand when you are creating new tables/schemas, dropping tables/schemas, or updating tables/schemas.

Catalog: Schema

When you click into a schema, it will expand to show a list of tables within. Note you can compare tables by their popularity score.

Catalog: Table

On the table page, you can select the metrics, issues, autometrics, and schema changes tabs to interact with all of those objects associated with the table. Additionally, you can preview a sample of the data in the table.

You can also refresh the table catalog on demand by clicking 'Rescan' on the schema change tab.
