Data Catalog

The Data Catalog is a searchable, centralized inventory of data assets (tables, schemas, databases, and pipeline jobs) automatically populated from your connected integrations. The catalog stays in sync with supported data sources so your team always has an up-to-date view of what exists, who owns it, and how healthy it is.

Browsing the catalog

When you open the catalog at /data-obs/catalog, you see a list of all assets across your connected integrations. Each asset card displays:

  • Asset type: table, schema, dashboard, job, etc.
  • Name and path (e.g., account > database > schema)
  • Integration and account: the source system and account it was synced from
  • Description: pulled from the source system if available
  • Links to the source system: direct references back to the origin platform so you can navigate from the catalog to the source in one click
  • Tags: key:value metadata pairs pulled from the source system if available
  • Monitor Status: displays the state of any active Data Quality Monitors on the asset
  • Lineage: upstream and downstream dependencies, where supported by the integration

Use the left sidebar to filter assets by type: All assets, Databases, Schemas, or Tables. Connected integrations (such as Snowflake, dbt, and BigQuery) are also listed individually in the sidebar.

Search & filtering

The search bar at the top of the catalog supports both free-text and field-scoped queries.

Full-text search matches across all asset fields. Typing a term and selecting “Search all fields for…” returns any asset containing that value, anywhere in its metadata. Only the Catalog supports full-text search. Other Data Observability views like Monitors and Lineage do not.

Tag search lets you target a specific attribute using key:value syntax. The available fields depend on which integrations you have connected. As you type, the search dropdown suggests the fields available in your environment. Any tag key on your assets can also be used as a search field. For example, data_owner:TS-OPS-ANALYTICS filters to assets tagged with that owner.

Wildcards and unions are also supported:

  • Wildcard: name:dim_zendesk* matches any asset whose name starts with dim_zendesk
  • Union: data_owner:(team-a OR team-b) matches assets owned by either team
  • Intersection: dim_zendesk AND data_owner:TS-OPS-ANALYTICS

Recent searches are saved and surfaced in the dropdown for quick reuse.
