Introduction to the Data Quality page

The Data Quality page is where you can see an overview of your data monitors.

A data monitor is an automated data quality check that is performed each time you fetch data. With data monitors, you can find anomalies in your data more easily.

For more information about data monitors, see Working with universal monitors and Working with custom monitors.

You can set up email notifications for the data quality issues. For more information, see Managing user notifications.

Data Quality KPIs

The KPI boxes at the top of the Data Quality page show the summary of issues detected by the monitors in the current workspace.

Duplication

This KPI box shows the percentage of the datastreams that contain unique data out of the datastreams monitored by the universal duplication monitor.

You can also see the number of unresolved issues and the number of new unresolved issues since yesterday when relevant.

Custom monitors

This KPI box shows the percentage of the datastreams that match the validation rules defined by the custom monitors.

You can also see the number of unresolved issues and the number of new unresolved issues since yesterday when relevant.
