Progressive rollout in the coming weeks

These changes will be rolled out to Workspaces in several phases over the coming weeks. Emails will be sent to all users in Account Owners, Domain Managers and Editors roles with additional details when these changes will take place in their Workspace and any necessary actions required.

New behavior for unmonitored tables

Custom monitors configured to run against unmonitored or muted tables will now fail with an "Error" status. This change ensures that monitoring is consistently applied to all relevant tables, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of your custom monitors.

New behavior for dbt alerts

dbt failures will only be raised as Monte Carlo Alerts if all tables associated with the dbt Model are enabled for monitoring in Monte Carlo. Learn more about dbt Failures As Monte Carlo Alerts

Enhanced user interface

When creating new monitors, unmonitored tables will be clearly identified in the table selection process. A modal will also be displayed when creating SQL monitors to highlight any unmonitored tables being referenced.

Viewing monitors with unmonitored tables

Prior to these changes being enabled in your Workspace, we recommend you address any monitors with Unmonitored or Muted tables.

To view Monitors with Unmonitored or Muted tables:

1. Navigate to Monitors

2. There will be a new column labeled "Unmonitored tables" or "Muted tables".

3. This provides a sortable column of the number of tables referenced by that monitor that are currently not monitored. We recommend you either enabled monitoring on these tables or disable the monitor if no longer in use. There are several ways to resolve this:

   1. If the monitor is no longer useful, disable or delete the monitor. This is done by going to the three dot menu under Actions and clicking "Disable" or "Delete"

   2. If the monitor is still useful and you want to ensure you continue to receive any alerts raised by the monitor, enable monitoring for the table(s) referenced by this monitor.

      1. Click into the monitor to verify what table(s) are "Not monitored" or "Muted".
      2. Navigate to the necessary tables to either enable monitoring on them or un-mute them. Refer to Recommended monitoring strategies for tables

This update reinforces our commitment to providing comprehensive monitoring capabilities and encourages users to enable monitoring for all relevant tables by either un-muting tables or enable monitoring for them through the Usage UI.
