What does Atlan crawl from Elementary Cloud?
The Elementary Cloud app enriches warehouse assets in Atlan with data health scores, active incident context, and direct links back to Elementary Cloud.
Enrichment is applied to assets that exist in both Elementary Cloud and Atlan, matched by warehouse location (database, schema, and table name).
Asset types
Elementary Cloud enriches warehouse and warehouse-aligned assets in Atlan that correspond to objects Elementary Cloud has scanned. Enrichment is applied at the following levels:
| Atlan asset type | Description |
|---|---|
Database | Top-level warehouse database object. |
Schema | Schema within a database. |
Table | Table within a schema. |
View | View within a schema. |
Column | Column on a table or view. |
DbtModel | dbt model, when dbt asset sync is enabled for your account. |
DbtSource | dbt source, when dbt asset sync is enabled for your account. |
Supported warehouse sources
Elementary Cloud enriches assets across the warehouses it monitors, wherever you also use the corresponding Atlan connector:
| Elementary Cloud source | Atlan connector |
|---|---|
| Snowflake | Snowflake |
| BigQuery | Google BigQuery |
| Redshift | Amazon Redshift |
| Databricks | Databricks |
| Postgres | PostgreSQL |
| Athena | Amazon Athena |
| ClickHouse | ClickHouse |
| Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Fabric |
| SQL Server | Microsoft SQL Server |
| Trino | Trino |
Metadata fields
Elementary Cloud adds the following custom metadata sets to matched Atlan assets. Field names below reflect how the data appears in Atlan.
Health score
The Health score custom metadata set surfaces data quality scores Elementary Cloud computes for each asset. Scores are integers from 0 to 100.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total health score | Integer | Overall data health score for the asset. |
| Completeness score | Integer | Score for the completeness quality dimension. |
| Uniqueness score | Integer | Score for the uniqueness quality dimension. |
| Freshness score | Integer | Score for the freshness quality dimension. |
| Validity score | Integer | Score for the validity quality dimension. |
| Accuracy score | Integer | Score for the accuracy quality dimension. |
| Consistency score | Integer | Score for the consistency quality dimension. |
Scores reflect Elementary Cloud's data quality calculations for the asset, based on recent test and monitoring results.
Each score is paired with a color-coded badge in Atlan (red, yellow, or green), aligned to the data quality thresholds configured in your Elementary Cloud environment—so teams can spot issues instantly.
Related incidents
The Related incidents custom metadata set surfaces active incident context for each matched asset—how many open incidents affect the asset and direct links to investigate them in Elementary Cloud.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Total incidents | Integer | Count of active incidents on the asset. |
| Incidents | URL (multi-value) | Direct links to each incident in Elementary Cloud. |
A Total incidents badge highlights assets that need attention: red when there is at least one active incident, green when the asset is clear.
Elementary environment metadata
Identifies which Elementary Cloud environment the enrichment came from—helpful when your Atlan workspace spans multiple Elementary environments.
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Environment ID | Text | Identifier of the Elementary Cloud environment that sourced the metadata. |
