Daton Connector

What is this connector?

Daton connector exposes the data that Daton generates once you start using it. In addition to the information we show in the Daton UI, users can configure the Daton connector to sync essential data to your warehouse so that users can write their own queries and build alerts on the data being published. Configuring Daton connector is like configuring any other connector in Daton.

What data is made available?

The following tables will be sync’ed to your data warehouse.

How can you use this data?

Tracking Jobs

This connector exposes data related to jobs being run by Daton. Users can analyze this data to understand what jobs are being run, at what time, and become more self-sufficient in troubleshooting in case they notice an issue.

Visibility into Last processed value for tables

Users can get visibility into the last replicated value for each table by going into the integration details page and checking the replicated up to value for any table. However, using the UI can be difficult when you are trying to analyze replicated up to values for tables across multiple integrations. Data from this connector can be synced to your warehouse and SQL queries can be written to analyze the data.

Understanding Usage

Users on usage-based billing plans can analyze which tables and integrations are contributing to their monthly bill. This data can be leverage to fine tune the setups to bring overages down.

Impact on Billing

Adding Daton connect will be counted towards your quota of available connector in your plan. Data replicated by this connector counts towards your monthly quota for usage-based billing plans.

Useful Queries

/*Get a list of sources by user*/ select * from SOURCE_V s , USER_V u where s.userid = u.userid ; /*Last job status of a table.*/ select s.name , ljs.* from SOURCE_V s , LAST_JOB_STAT_V ljs where s.sourceid = ljs.sourceid and s.name = 'INTEGRATION_NAME' and ljs.tablename = 'TABLE_NAME' ; /*History of jobs for a table*/ select * from SOURCE_V s , SOURCE_TRANSACTION_V st where s.sourceid = st.sourceid and s.name = 'INTEGRATION_NAME' and st.tablename = 'TABLE_NAME' ;

FAQ

How do I convert timestamp columns into a readable format?

BigQuery

• SELECT TIMESTAMP_MILLIS(CAST(COLUMN_NAME AS INT64)) FROM TABLE NAME

Redshift

• SELECT  timestamp 'epoch' + CAST(COLUMN_NAME  AS BIGINT)/1000 * interval '1 second' AS date FROM TABLE NAME

Snowflake

• select to_timestamp(daton_batch_runtime ) FROM table_name

Why is last record pointing to 1/1/1970 for some tables?

This happens in two cases.

1. When the source is a full load table

2. When the first job hasn’t run yet for a table

What is the “state” column in SOURCE_LOG_RECENT_V table?

Daton uses this column to store additional job-related data for some sources. If most cases, you don’t need to use this data as it is primarily for internal user. Reach out to support if you have any questions.

What is the parallelism column in SOURCE_V table?

Daton uses this column to determine how many jobs run in parallel for the source.

Why is one of my tables not in SOURCE_LOG_RECENT_V?

Although this scenario is very rate, this can happen when the table never managed even a single successful run.
