Summary

Metaplane has updated its Looker integration to include lineage for View and Explore fields, allowing users to understand the full impact of data quality incidents on their analytics. The new features provide field-level lineage for Views, Explores, Dashboards, native (LookML) derived tables, and SQL-derived tables. By integrating Looker with Metaplane, users can proactively alert stakeholders about potential issues and accelerate root cause analysis. Support for derived tables has also been added, providing further granularity in lineage graphs. Users are encouraged to provide feedback on the integration, particularly regarding Persistent Derived Tables (PDT).
