5.31.21 Changelog

We're kicking off summer here in the northern hemisphere and have some exciting releases coming up soon. We also shipped a handful of great features and improvements over the last week.

What's new

  • S3 event support for EMR logs: We now support ingesting EMR logs to develop lineage, usage analytics and query history.

Improvements and fixes*

  • Integration connection error messages: To dramatically simplify onboarding new integrations, we added clear error messages when the connection fails. This includes error messages when connecting Tableau, Looker, Big Query, Redshift and Snowflake.
  • Incident Event grouping improvements: Monte Carlo automatically groups anomalous data events (usually per table) into incidents to reduce notification fatigue. These improvements reduce the grouping window from 6 hours to 1.5 hours and limit grouping of different event types (freshness, volume, etc) to reduce missing events that were added to an incident after it was triaged.

What's next

  • Incident IQ: We're revamping the entire incident detail view to provide a more holistic summary of the incident itself along with easy to use tools to help determine root cause and resolve the issue.
  • Monitor creation wizards: We're in the final stretch of releasing a complete revamp of the creation wizards for Field Health, Dimension Tracking and JSON Schema builders. With this release, we're also adding a number of new configuration options including WHERE filters to limit which records are monitored, custom schedules, and dynamic scheduling which triggers checks after a table update operation completes.
