Often, the best way to notify end-users of issues is directly in the tools they use on a daily basis. With BI status badges, you can display if there are any issues on or upstream of a chart directly in your BI tool.
Example—A badge in Looker displaying that there’s an ongoing incident on or upstream of a chart
Navigate to Products
Select the data product that contains the assets that you want to display the status of in your BI tool and navigate to the settings
tab
Depending on your BI tool, copy the relevant Markdown or SVG URL
Navigate to your BI tool and insert a widget that points to the URL above. The level of support for this may vary depending on the BI tool you use
Looker example
If you use Looker, click Add > Markdown
and paste the Markdown URL from SYNQ into the Body
Your BI tool will show a tile with the status of the data product. Clicking on the tile brings you back to SYNQ with an overview of the issues to connect the dots.
