Managing Validators
You can review and manage validators on the global Validators page, the Validators tab on the Source details page, or the individual Validator details page.
Global Validators Page
To find the global validators page, click Validators in the platform navigation sidebar. The Validators page lists all of the validators that have been configured on sources that you have access to view (based on your namespace settings). This page includes the incidents histogram and a list of all the validators with information about the source they are attached to, the data quality score, configured windows, assigned owners, and so on.
From this page, you can:
- Update an individual validator's configuration. Updating is limited to the display name, description, and filters.
- Mute or update the muting period to silence notifications on individual validators.
- If you want to see the validators associated with a single source, click on the source name in the table to open its Validators tab.
- For more granular details and management of individual validators, click on a specific validator name to open its details page.
Source Validators Tab
You can use the Validators tab on a Source’s details page to view and manage all validators that exist on that source. The histogram summarizes all the incidents detected by the validators on this source. The list of validators include the following information:
Column Name | Description |
---|---|
Validator | The display name of the validator. |
Type | The validator type, such as Numeric, Freshness, or Volume. For more information, see Validator Types. |
Segmentation | Which segmentation, if any, is applied to the validator. For more information, see Segmentation. |
Quality | The quality score, which is calculated as a number of windows without incidents to the total number of windows. |
Last Incident | How long ago the last incident was discovered by the validator. For more information, see About Validator Incidents. |
From this page you can:
- Use the histogram to view a summary of incidents from all validators configured on the source.
- Filter and sort the list of validators by searching for name, type, or status.
- Click + New validator to start the validator configuration wizard. For more information, see Configuring a Validator.
- Click the ⋮ menu to see options for renaming or deleting the Validator.
- For more granular details and management of individual validators, click on a specific validator name to open its details page.
Validator Details Page
Navigate to the individual Validator details page to manage incidents or update the configuration of the validator. On this page you will see only incidents that were detected by this validator.
From this page you can:
- Update the threshold settings for anomaly or incident detection on this validator.
- Assign or update the owner of the validator. By default this owner will be set to the creator of the validator, and all incidents detected will inherit the same owner.
- View a summary of details about the validator configuration in a side panel.
- Mute or update the muting period of the validator to silence notifications for a specified time period.
- Click the ⋮ menu to see options for updating the validator configuration or deleting the validator.
Note
You can only update the threshold settings for the Threshold type you configured. You can't change the Threshold type. For more information, see About Thresholds.
Incident Metrics Graph
The metrics graph provides details about the values and bounds of the detected incidents, their severity, and when each was detected.
In the metric graph:
- The granularity of the x-axis is determined by the window size.
- The graph updates in real-time, if new data comes in and a new window is completed. You do not need to refresh your browser window.
- Hover on a datapoint to display its detected time range, value, bounds, and severity.
Important
For all validators except Row Count (Volume) and Freshness validators, datapoints will not be created in the metric graphs when no data is observed.
Incidents List
The incidents list provides details about the values and bounds of the detected incidents, their severity, and when each was detected.
You can use the incident list to:
- Update the status of the incident during investigation or triage.
- View the debug information to troubleshoot the incident. For more information, see Debugging an Incident.
- Click View Group Details to open a more detailed incident group view for troubleshooting and root cause analysis. For more information, see Managing Incident Groups.
