Data Monitors functionality is available via MCP — connect your AI assistant to Datafold and manage monitors directly from your development environment.
Datafold supports all your monitoring needs through a variety of different monitor types:
  1. Data Diff → Detect differences between any two datasets, within or across databases
  2. Metric → Identify anomalies in standard metrics like row count, freshness, and cardinality, or in any custom metric
  3. Data Test → Validate your data with business rules and see specific records that fail your tests
  4. Schema Change → Receive alerts when a table schema changes
Monitors can also be created, run, and managed via the Datafold API or as code. If you need help creating your first few monitors, deciding which type of monitor to use in a particular situation, or developing an overall monitoring strategy, please reach out via email (support@datafold.com) and our team of experts will be happy to assist.
