1.17.2022 Changelog

What's new

• "PyCarlo" - Monte Carlo's Python SDK: we just released an alpha Python SDK! All available queries and mutations via the APIs today will be supported via the SDK. This will be the foundation for customers to easily access Monte Carlo capabilities programmatically going forward. 
• Schema changes daily digest: Users are now able to receive notifications on schema changes in the form of a daily digest via email. Slack support will follow shortly. This can be configured in notifications setting under "Delivery Cadence".

Improvements and fixes

• Pipelines chart improvement: The pipelines chart can now load nodes with up to 100,000 upstream or downstream dependencies, significantly expanding on the previous limit of 1,000 nodes.
• Monitor status: on the monitors page, added a new column on Monitor Status, which shows if each monitor is in error, training, etc. Users can filter for monitors by status and can easily see if any monitors are misconfigured. 
• Network connectivity test: customers can now specifically test data collector's network connectivity issues separately from other connection problems (i.e. timeouts / permissions). Network testing is available both in onboarding wizard and under integrations settings.  
• Email group UX fix: email notifications created with multiple recipients are now treated as a single notification, so that users no longer have to edit notifications setting for each individual email separately.

What's next

• Rule notes: users will soon be able to add notes to each SQL rule monitor, so that when rule breaches happen teams can reference the notes, i.e. for troubleshooting.
• Impact radius: help customers assess the impact of each incident by aggregating metrics on relevant users, queries, and downstream dashboards.
• Circuit breakers: trigger Monte Carlo data quality checks and validate incidents with code to stop problematic jobs before they pass data downstream.
