    • The action plan associated with Reservation Insights is missing. (BIGQ-761)

  • Jobs

    • All projects that are configured for Unravel monitoring should be displayed under the Projects page even if the queries or jobs are not run for those projects. (BIGQ-449)

    • When comparing two jobs on the Jobs page, the Creation time is not shown on the Job details page when Show differences is enabled, even though the creation time is different. (BIGQ-615)

Snowflake

The following bugfix is included in this release for Unravel Snowflake:

  • Warehouses

    Unravel (Integration Service) IS queries are preventing the suspension of warehouses in the environment. (SNOW-997)

Unsupported

BigQuery

  • Scheduled Query insights are not generated if you are using the INFORMATION_SCHEMA polling method.

  • In GCP - BigQuery, for the Data page, a count of more than 100 projects is not supported.

Snowflake

  • Great Expectations integration is not supported for Snapshot mode in Snowflake.

  • Profiler-based insights are not supported for Snapshot mode. Since the query profile is not received in the Snapshot mode, the insights that use the query profile are not generated.

Known issues

BigQuery

The following Known issues are included in this release for Unravel BigQuery:

Jobs

  • For some cached jobs, if many jobs are running in parallel, the View original query link does not show on the Job details page. (BIGQ-466)

  • Cached query jobs are not analyzed on the Data page. (BIGQ-603)

Installation

  • Terraform does not delete the Service Account and Role in the specified project ID after running the remove command. (INSTALL-3268)

  • Issue: Sometimes, when you process a large number of BigQuery projects with the manager config bigquery integrate command, you may see the following error:

    Provider produced inconsistent result after apply

    Workaround: Wait for a few minutes and re-run the command. (INSTALL-2860, INSTALL-2934)

Snowflake

The following Known issues are included in this release for Unravel Snowflake:

Data page

  • Great Expectations integrations are not supported for Snapshot mode. (SNOW-1281)

Integrations: Great Expectations

  • Issue: Insights may not be generated in some cases where default_runtime_data_connector_name or default_configured_asset_sqldataconnector is used as the data connector. (SNOW-596)

    Workaround: The default_inferred_data_connector_name is the recommended data connector to use.

    data_connectors:
   default_inferred_data_connector_name:
       class_name: InferredAssetSqlDataConnector
       include_schema_name: false

    For more details, refer to Data Connectors and Configure your individual Data Connectors.

Insights

  • The Insights column in the query list does not show the insights count for queries with insight. (SNOW-1295)

Limitations

BigQuery

The following limitations are included in this release for Unravel BigQuery:

Data page

  • Data page table-level queries and users will be analyzed once the table is captured by DataPage. For older queries, analysis may not be performed. (BIGQ-602)

  • If tables are created with the same name and are accessed, deleted, and re-created, and if those tables are re-accessed, then their query and app count do not match. (DATAPAGE-502)

UI

  • If the Tag keys exceed the value of 1000 count or the Tag values per key exceed the value of 1000 count, then the Tags filter does not work on the Unravel BigQuery > Jobs Page. (UIX-6405)

Snowflake

The following limitations are included in this release for Unravel Snowflake:

Data page

  • Some of the trend graphs on the Data Overview page (Number of Tables created, Size of Tables Created, Total Number of Tables, and Total Size of Tables) and the Size trend graph on the Data Tables page are not applicable for Snapshot mode in Snowflake. (SNOW-1281)

Installation

  • For the Unravel installation in Snowflake, if you want to switch from the existing Real-time connection to a Snapshot connection or vice versa, then you must reinstall Unravel. This is because the existing data must be removed, and the new data must be polled. (SNOW-1217)

UI

  • In the Unravel Snowflake UI, query reflection may exhibit delays when more unravel queries are in the running state or queued state due to low compute processing capacity. Hence, the user queries may reflect late on the Unravel UI. (SNOW-1032)

Warehouse

  • When the warehouse is not running for long time or deleted then it does not appear in the next iteration of the warehouse query. Therefore, that warehouse appears in an UNKNOWN state. (SNOW-1288)
