View Run History¶
The Run History view provides an audit trail of monitor executions and gives insight into the health of monitored data and the effectiveness of applied quality checks. It allows users to track how checks are performing over time and troubleshoot failing results. Each monitor has its own run history accessible.
Use Run History for the following information:
Review failed or errored checks daily for critical monitors.
Track patterns over time to identify recurring data quality issues.
Use View Details to validate the check logic and determine necessary remediations.
Export or screenshot job results if needed for audits or data pipeline teams.
To view Run History, follow these steps:
Navigate to the Alation Data Quality application and click Monitors.
Click on a monitor name to select it.
In the Monitor page, select the Run History tab.
This view displays the following summary table of each time the monitor ran, either manually or via schedule:
