Amorphic Insights
This powerful monitoring tool allows you to track the status of various resources within the Amorphic platform. With Insights, you can keep tabs on multiple resources in one consolidated view, saving you time and effort.
With Amorphic Insights, you can:
- Monitor Jobs, Schedules, DataPipelines, DataMetrics, and Bulkload Dataflow Runs
- View the status of the last 10 executions for most resource types
- Track the most recent execution status for Full-Load-CDC and CDC Bulkload Dataflow Runs
- Grant access to specific Insights for other users or tags
- Create custom monitoring dashboards for your most important resources
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to make the most of the Insights capabilities.
