App version: v252
Sifflet has in the past primarily been doing Freshness based on the distribution of the data, checking that data points with new dates were added. However this does not cover all freshness usecases, such as reloading a dimension table without a date field. In those cases what I want to check if if the data reload occurred within the usual time range !
New Template: Freshness (Update Time Gap)
This template can be applied to any table and will use the Table Metadata available to build up a history of typical time gaps between updates.
Due to the lack of history available, this monitor needs training time to be effective so you will need to wait a few data update cycles for a nice looking graph !
Supported Databases:
Release: New monitors wizard, Rolling aggregation for monitors with dynamic thresholds
We have improved the monitor's creation experience on the UI by introducing a redesigned wizard. This new user experience streamlines navigation within the monitor's templates, providing users with more precise guidance on setting parameters tailored to their specific use cases. We will continue improving this experience with more to come in the coming releases.
Introducing a new addition to our monitoring capabilities, detect anomalies using rolling aggregation alongside dynamic thresholds. Every monitor run will aggregate data based on user-defined rolling time intervals. For instance, users can set up monitors to run daily and detect anomalies in the total number of orders over the past seven days using dynamic thresholds. This feature is compatible with the following monitor templates:
