Dataset Lineage

Dataset lineage now appears throughout NinjaCat, giving you visibility into how your datasets connect and flow upstream and downstream.

See lineage at a glance

• Lineage tab on every dataset — Open the Lineage tab on a dataset to see an interactive upstream/downstream graph of every dataset it depends on and every dataset that depends on it.
• Lineage health column — Dataset and connector lists now include a lineage health column so you can spot issues across your data at a glance.
• Unhealthy source warnings on transformation pages — When you build a transformation, NinjaCat flags any unhealthy source datasets directly where you're working.

Reconcile Lineage

When something looks off — or when a dataset has no lineage yet — use Reconcile Lineage to refresh it.

You can trigger Reconcile Lineage from:

• The dataset detail page
• The dataset list row menu
• A connector's datasets table

Reconciling re-walks the dataset's full upstream and downstream dependency chain, revalidates every node, and refreshes the health status everywhere lineage is shown.
