Insights
Public Preview
User Management v2 required
Insights requires User Management v2. If you are using single sign-on, see also Microsoft Entra ID Authentication Integration (User Management v2).
Insights is an Agile Data Engine service that provides visibility into data development and operations for data teams. It is built on the metadata and log data generated throughout the development and operation of your data platform.
In addition to operational insights, business users and data consumers can leverage the Data Product Catalog to explore available data entities, trace their lineage, and review relevant documentation.
Insights is currently in Public Preview and available by request. Please contact us through the support portal if you would like to enable Insights for your tenant. Note that enabling Insights requires your tenant to be migrated to User Management v2.
