FAQs
-
What’s a monitored table?
Metaplane allows you to sync as many tables as you want from your warehouse or database. When monitors (e.g. freshness, nullness) are added to a table or column, that table is considered a "monitored table." Pricing is based on the number of tables that have monitors actively running for more than 30 days. -
Does column-level lineage only apply for monitored tables?
Metaplane is able to sync all tables it has permission to access. This means you can view column-level lineage for all data, not just the data you add monitors to. -
Who counts as a “user” in Metaplane?
A user is any person who can access the Metaplane web application. There is no limit of users who can interact with notifications or CI/CD tests. -
What is the difference between regular and premium support?
Metaplane provides prioritized support and shared Slack channels for customers with premium support.
