Metadata based
These monitors are derived directly from the data platform’s system metadata, without scanning row-level values. They surface structural signals, such as:
Last modification time: when the dataset was last updated
Schema changes: any alterations to the schema
Total row count: the overall number of records in the dataset
Total row count change: the delta in row count compared to the previous observation
Because they read only metadata, these monitors are extremely lightweight to compute and ideal for continuous, real-time dashboarding of dataset activity.
Depending on your data source(s), metadata-based Metric Monitors may only be supported on Tables, and not on other data objects e.g. Views.
Alternatives could be to setup these metadata-based Metric Monitors on the source Tables of your non-Table data objects, and/or store these data objects as Tables instead.
