Default metrics

Default metrics are computed for all monitored tables. If you would rather not compute some of them it's easy to change the default metrics list via the re_data:default_metrics variable.

Sample table for example metrics

Below is a list of currently available metrics and how they are computed internally by re_data:

table level metricsโ€‹

row_countโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

Numbers of rows added to the table in a specific time range.

row_count = 10 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

freshnessโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

Information about the latest record in a given time frame. Suppose we calculate the freshness metric in the table above for the time window [2021-09-01T00:00:00, 2021-09-02T00:00:00). We observe that the latest record in that time frame appears in row 9 with created_at=2021-09-01T20:00:00. freshness is the difference between the end of the time window and the latest record in the time frame in seconds. For this example described, re_data would calculate freshness as:

2021-09-02T00:00:00 - 2021-09-01T20:00:00 = 14400

schema_changesโ€‹

Information about schema changes in the monitored table.

Stored separately from the rest of the metrics in the re_data_schema_changes model.

caution

Schema changes are metric different from the rest. Because information about schema changes is gathered by comparing schemas between re_data runs this metric doesn't filter changes to time-window specified and in fact, doesn't use time_window settings at all.

Column level metricsโ€‹

minโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

Minimal value appearing in a given numeric column.

min(rental_rate) = 0.99 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

maxโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

Maximal value appearing in a given numeric column.

max(rental_rate) = 4.99 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

avgโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

Average of all values appearing in a given numeric column.

avg(rental_rate) = 3.79 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

stddevโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

The standard deviation of all values appearing in a given numeric column.

stddev(rental_rate) = 1.3984117975602022 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

varianceโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

The variance of all values appearing in a given numeric column.

variance(rental_rate) = 1.9555555555555557 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

min_lengthโ€‹

(source code) โ€‹

Minimal length of all strings appearing in a given column.

min_length(rating) = 1 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

max_length โ€‹

Maximal length of all strings appearing in a given column

max_length(rating) = 5 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

avg_lengthโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

The average length of all strings appearing in a given column

avg_length(rating) = 2.4 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

nulls_countโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

A number of nulls in a given column.

nulls_count(rating) = 0 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

missing_countโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

A number of nulls and empty string values in a given column for the specific time range.

missing_count(rating) = 0 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

missing_percentโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

A percentage of nulls and empty string values in a given column for the specific time range.

missing_percent(rating) = 0 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00

nulls_percentโ€‹

(source code)โ€‹

A percentage of null values in a given column for the specific time range.

nulls_percent(rating) = 0 where time window is >= 2021-09-01T00:00:00 and < 2021-09-02T00:00:00
