Validator overview

The Volume validator monitors the number of records, non-NULL values, duplicates, and unique values in a dataset. You can configure volume validators to monitor the following metrics: For an overview of all validator types, see Validator Types.

Metric configuration parameters

For more information about configuring thresholds, see Thresholds.

Field selection

For metrics Duplicates count, Duplicates percentage, Unique count and Unique percentage you have to specify one or several fields. Specifying several fields means field values are concatenated before being counted, which is, for example, useful when validating uniqueness of composite keys. For metrics Count and Percentage you can pick No field (use record) to count entire records. You can also pick a specific field to count non-NULL values in that field.
For duplicate and unique metrics, Validio includes NULL values in the counts, unless you apply a NULL filter to remove them.
