Data exports are in public preview and will be GA in May 2025.

Overview

Monte Carlo's data exports make it easy to access and analyze critical metadata about your your data observability platform. It replaces our legacy "Insights" reports with a more aligned, flexible, and transparent approach to exporting Monte Carlo data.

With data exports, you can retrieve structured information on Monitors, Alerts, Events (the underlying events in an alert), and Assets—directly from the UI, via API/CLI, or through Snowflake data shares. These exports are refreshed daily and mirror what you see in Monte Carlo, allowing for easy integration into internal workflows, self-service reporting, and deep analysis.

📘
Data exports are available to workspaces on the Scale and Enterprise plans.

Key Benefits

Rich, structured data for Monitors, Alerts, Events, and Assets
Reliable, daily-refreshed exports that match what you see in Monte Carlo
Download directly from relevant Monte Carlo product pages for one-off analysis
Snowflake data shares available through Monte Carlo customer support

Access methods

Method	Description
UI	Navigate to Monitors, Alerts, or Assets pages and download CSVs.
API / CLI	For programmatic access.
Snowflake	Access shared tables via Snowflake data share. Enable through Monte Carlo customer support.
BigQuery	Example script to export from the CLI coming soon.
Databricks	Example notebook to export from the CLI coming soon.

Note: The Alerts export includes both Alerts and their related Events.

CLI

Follow the CLI guide to get set up and see the export CLI docs for more information. Direct download and direct upload to S3 are both options.

Snowflake data share

For Snowflake users, we offer the ability to use data exports via Snowflake's Data Sharing capabilities. This is an opt-in feature, and is available in the following Snowflake data warehouse regions:

AWS: us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-2, ca-central-1, eu-west-1, eu-central-1, ap-northeast-1, ap-southeast-2

Azure: eastus2, centralus, westeurope, australiaeast, canadacentral

GCP: us-central1, us-east4

Please reach out to support@montecarlodata.com to enable the Snowflake data share.

Migration from Legacy Insights

We're sunsetting the legacy Insights system. Here's what to expect:

The Insights tab will be removed from the UI
The “Monitored Tables” insight has been moved to Settings → Table monitors
Full deprecation will be July 1, 2025. If you have concerns about losing specific insight reports, please reach out to your customer success manager or support@montecarlodata.com.

FAQs

Are exports filtered by domain or audience?

No. Exports include all relevant records. Users restricted to specific domains do not have access to data exports.

Where can I find the export option in the UI?

Look for export/download buttons within the Monitors, Alerts, and Assets pages. There is no centralized "Exports" tab at this time.

How often are exports refreshed?

Daily, roughly between 01:00 - 03:00 UTC. You can generally expect the refresh to be available by 04:00 UTC daily.

Data export schemas

Each export contains a clean, well-documented schema. Fields are consistently named, and join keys are aligned across exports.
