View and Manage Data Quality Runs¶
Alation Cloud Service Applies to Alation Cloud Service instances of Alation
The Runs tab provides a cross-monitor view of execution activity in Alation Data Quality. Use this view to answer operational questions, such as which scans are currently running or whether a scan needs to be stopped.
This view complements the Monitors tab, which lists monitor configurations. The Runs tab focuses on execution activity across every monitor you have access to, rather than the configuration of any single monitor.
Access the Runs View¶
To open the Runs view:
Navigate to the Alation Data Quality application. From the left-pane menu, click the Monitors tab.
At the top of the page, click Runs.
The Monitors tab is selected by default each time you open the page.
The Runs view contains two sections: Currently Running and Completed Runs.
Currently Running¶
The Currently Running section lists every scan that is in progress across your monitors.
Each row displays the following information:
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
Monitor Name |
The name of the monitor. Click the name to open the monitor’s detail page. |
Started |
The timestamp when the run began. |
Duration |
How long the run has been executing. |
Status |
Displays Running for all rows in this section. |
Kill |
Stops the run. For more information, see Kill an Active Run. |
Note
This section refreshes automatically approximately every 30 seconds. You do not need to reload the page to see updated durations or newly started runs.
Kill an Active Run¶
You can stop a scan that is currently running.
Warning
Killing a run cannot be undone. The scan stops immediately, and any results already computed for that run are discarded.
To kill an active run:
In the Currently Running section, locate the run you want to stop.
Click the kill action on the row.
In the confirmation dialog, click Confirm.
The row updates to a Killed status immediately and moves to the Completed Runs table.
Note
If the kill action does not succeed, the row reverts to its previous Running status, and an error message appears. Try the action again. For more information, see Troubleshooting the Data Quality Features.
Completed Runs¶
The Completed Runs table lists finished runs in reverse chronological order.
Each row displays the following information:
Field |
Description |
|---|---|
Run Timestamp |
When the run started. |
Monitor Name |
The name of the monitor. Click the name to open the monitor’s detail page. |
Status |
The final result of the run: Pass, Fail, Error, Partial, or Killed. |
Results |
A summary count of passed, failed, and errored checks for the run. |
Duration |
The total time the run took to complete. |
Click a row in the Completed Runs table to view additional detail.
Filter Completed Runs¶
Select a monitor from the Monitor dropdown to narrow the Completed Runs table to that monitor.
Note
The Monitor filter also applies to the Currently Running section.
