Cross-stack monitoring for your BI and data stack.
— Connects to —
Most monitoring stops at a single layer. Power BI doesn't know about your ADF pipeline. Databricks job failures don't surface in your Tableau workbooks or dashboards. MetricSign connects them — showing you every asset across your BI and data stack and where failures propagate.
Live pipeline intelligence — showing 1 incident detected across the chain. Root cause auto-traced upstream.
Independent research consistently shows the same pattern: slow detection, complex pipelines, and teams that spend more time firefighting than building.
take four or more hours to detect a data quality incident
rate pipeline management as somewhat or extremely complex
report heavier workloads despite AI tools
cite data quality as their top ongoing challenge
MetricSign detects issues across your full data and BI stack — before your users do.
MetricSign reads the error for you and tells you what broke, why, and how to fix it.
What is wrong?
MetricSign checks your entire BI and data stack every five minutes. Failed refreshes, slow jobs, schema changes, delayed pipelines — detected and classified automatically. No manual checks. No morning surprises.

Where did it start?
When a dashboard fails, the real problem is usually upstream. MetricSign traces the failure back through your pipeline — from Power BI dataset or Tableau workbook, through Databricks jobs and ADF pipelines, all the way to the data source — and shows you the entire chain.
How do I fix it?
Most monitoring stops at the platform error. MetricSign goes one layer deeper — it also extracts the upstream database error nested inside it. SQLSTATE codes, SQL Server state codes, deadlock victims. So you see the real root cause without opening five tools.
Every data team already has some form of monitoring. Most teams have several. None of them cover the full picture — and that's the actual problem.

MetricSign is built for the gap: cross-platform coverage from source systems through pipelines to BI dashboards, at a price point calibrated for mid-market teams — not just enterprises.
MetricSign reads metadata about your pipeline runs — job status, schemas, refresh times, lineage relations. The actual data content stays where it is. We never read it, copy it, or store it.
We process operational metadata only. Your datasets, rows, and business logic never touch our infrastructure.
Each connector uses its own platform OAuth. No separate credentials to manage. Revoke access at any time.
All metadata stored in EU data centers. GDPR compliant by design.
Audit controls in place. Certification process underway.
Native platform authentication. No proxy, no agents, no performance overhead.
Database errors from SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle are parsed when surfaced via ADF — no separate connector required.

OAuth gets you started in minutes. For continuous monitoring in production, MetricSign connects via a service principal — a standard pattern that requires admin approval.
Don't have admin rights yourself? Send the setup request directly from your MetricSign account. Your admin gets a concise brief: what MetricSign does, what permissions it needs, why metadata-only access is safe. One click to approve.

Cross-stack monitoring for your entire BI and data stack — Power BI, Tableau Cloud, ADF, Databricks, dbt, Snowflake, Airflow, Qlik Cloud and more. MetricSign detects failures anywhere in your chain, traces them back to the root cause, and translates error codes into plain-language fixes.
It is built for BI developers and analytics engineers who need to know about pipeline failures before their stakeholders do.
Power BI, Tableau Cloud, Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, dbt, Snowflake, Apache Airflow, and Qlik Cloud. Start free with one connector and add more as you need them — each takes a few minutes to set up.
Monte Carlo and Acceldata focus on data quality within a warehouse. MetricSign focuses on the execution chain — from the data source through pipelines, transformation layers, and Tableau or Power BI to the dashboard.
It also translates platform-specific error codes into actionable fixes. Whether your stack is Microsoft-first, Tableau-based, or a mix — MetricSign speaks its language. Most observability platforms do not.
No. MetricSign reads metadata only — pipeline statuses, refresh logs, schema definitions, error messages. No row-level data ever leaves your tenant. Your datasets, rows, and business logic never touch our infrastructure.
Our infrastructure is EU-hosted. Revoke access instantly at the tenant level, any time.
Create an account, pick your first connector, and enter the credentials — most teams are monitoring within five minutes. Power BI and Fabric connect via Microsoft OAuth in a single click. Airflow, Qlik Cloud, Databricks, and others use API tokens or service credentials you paste once in Settings.
No agent installation, no infrastructure changes, no firewall rules. Add or remove connectors any time from Settings → Connectors.
Chain Detector picks up the failure within five minutes and classifies it. Root Cause Navigator traces back through the chain to find where it started — often upstream in ADF or dbt.
Fix Translator then reads the specific error code and gives you a plain-language resolution path, specific to the failing asset and detected error type.
Partially. If your on-premises sources feed into Azure services via gateway or linked service, MetricSign monitors the Azure side of that chain and surfaces gateway-related failures.
Full on-premises monitoring is on the roadmap.
MetricSign is €299/month per organization — all connectors, unlimited workspaces, unlimited users. One price covers your entire stack, with no feature tiers or per-seat fees.
