If knowledge is power, then combining data observability with discovery is borderline superhuman. 

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new integration with Select Star, a leading data discovery platform, to continue delivering Monte Carlo’s comprehensive quality insights when and where teams need them.

Increase visibility into data workflows with data observability

Data observability is crucial for building trusted data and AI. With Monte Carlo, data teams are able to gain more end-to-end transparency into what’s happening with their data, why data issues occur, and how to triage and resolve them fast. 

Combined with Select Star, users can access Monte Carlo’s monitor information directly on table pages, providing a comprehensive view of data assets. 

Users can easily see the status of monitors and any current alerts, providing immediate context about data health. This visibility helps spread awareness of data observability across teams and guides decisions on data usage.

Leveraging Monte Carlo’s four monitor types for data observability, users can now gain deeper visibility into their data workflows within Select Star. 

  • Pipeline Observability monitors learn normal patterns of updates, size changes, and growth for any given table, alerting you to potential breakages or stoppages in data flow
  • Metrics monitors track the statistical profile of data fields, helping you catch outliers and unexpected changes
  • Validations allow for custom checks on specific data qualities
  • Performance keeps an eye on query runtimes to maintain reliable pipelines and control costs

How does it work?

Setting up the integration is straightforward. Admins can generate an Account Service Key in Monte Carlo and configure the connection in Select Star’s settings. Once connected, it takes just a few minutes for monitor information to populate, giving you instant insights into your data’s observability status. See the documentation for more information on setting up the integration.

By bringing Monte Carlo’s data observability insights into Select Star, we’re enabling data teams to continue to make informed and data-driven decisions and maintain high standards of data quality throughout their organizations.
