Data Quality Monitoring
Data quality (DQ) monitoring means continuously tracking the quality of business-critical data using business rules.
This process involves automated tools that check for issues and offer insights into areas needing improvement. By integrating DQ monitoring into data workflows, you can take a proactive approach to managing your data and ensure its reliability for reporting, analytics, and decision-making.
To get started with DQ monitoring, choose the monitoring workflow for your use case and follow the steps included in it.
Data quality monitoring workflows
There are two main workflows for DQ monitoring:
-
Analysis and remediation workflow: Analyze data quality → Investigate DQ issues → Fix DQ issues
-
Analysis and reporting workflow: Analyze data quality → Report DQ issues
