Changelog 2.1

April 2nd, 2024 by Sophy Ting

This release introduces new integrations (dbt, Tableau, and Apache Airflow), new tumbling window options, support for calendric seasonality detection, and improved catalog search.

New Integrations

Validio 2.1 adds support for the following integrations:

  • dbt--Connect Validio to your dbt Cloud or dbt Core accounts, and add sources to monitor test results and model runs. For more information, see dbt Cloud and dbt Core in the product documentation.
  • Tableau--Enable Validio to discover your Tableau assets (such as sheets, workbooks, datasources, and dashboards) and track their lineage relationships. For more information, see Tableau in the product documentation.
  • Airflow--Incorporate Validio into your Apache Airflow environment. This integration provides configuration for connecting to Validio with a hook and examples of custom operators. You can use these examples as a template to customize operators to suit your needs. For more information, see Validio for Airflow in the product documentation.

New Tumbling Window Options

You can now configure Tumbling Windows for weekly and monthly intervals. For more information, see Configuring Windows in the product documentation.

Calendric Seasonality

Dynamic Thresholds now includes observation of irregular seasonality, such as calendric seasonality, in your data. Calendric seasonality is often related to business cycles, where work is planned and reviewed on monthly, quarterly, and yearly cycles. With Dynamic Thresholds, Validio will track these trends and changes in your data over time and trigger a notification when it finds enough evidence.

You do not need to configure or enable this feature. For more information, see About Thresholds in the product documentation.

Improved Catalog Search

This release adds improved search functionality for catalog assets, sources, and validators. For more information, see Using Catalog.
