Data observability

This is a proposed direction, not an available feature or a delivery commitment. No release date is assigned.

Operator problem

A database can be reachable while business data is stale or incomplete. Operators need to distinguish those states.

Current alpha boundary

Database monitor templates collect configured operational metrics. They do not automatically establish data quality, lineage or business freshness. See the current operator guide.

Proposed capability

Study explicitly configured freshness, volume and schema-change observations for a declared dataset.

Evidence required

Start with least-privilege reads and show missing data, ingestion delay, schema changes and rule uncertainty without synthetic zeroes.

Non-goals

No arbitrary database queries, automatic enterprise lineage or correctness guarantees for business data.

Contribution entry

Bring a concrete workflow and a reproducible failure to the contribution process. Agree the smallest contract and acceptance evidence before implementation. Return to the roadmap.
