Observe automatically infers upstream dependencies for the assets that define a data product, like an Airflow dag that populates a dashboard or a Snowflake table powering a recommendation engine. For guidance on identifying data products in your organization, see [how to identify data products in your organization](/docs/learn/data-products#how-to-identify-data-products-in-your-organization). The **Data Products** landing page provides an overview of all your data products and their SLA statuses. You can see at a glance which data products are late or stale, who owns them, and when they were last updated to see a snapshot of data product health. An example of the data product list view. The following procedures describe how to create data products and leverage them to gain insight across pipelines and deployments. After you create a data product, then you can [view data product details](#view-your-data-product-details). You can follow a comprehensive walkthrough of setting up a Data Product and testing an alert in the [Get started with Observe](/docs/learn/data-products) quickstart. ## Prerequisites See [Observe prerequisites](/docs/astro/observe-get-started#prerequisites) ## Create a data product * In the sidebar, go to **Observe** > **Catalog** (**Asset Catalog** in the legacy UI). * Click **+ Create Data Product**. * In the sidebar, go to **Observe** > **Data Products**. * Click **+ Data Product**. * In the asset selection panel, use filters to find and select the final downstream assets for your data product. * As you select assets from the left panel, they will appear in the right preview area. * Click **Continue** after selecting one or more assets. * Enter a **Name** and optionally a **Description** for your data product. * Choose a **Data Product Owner**: Select either **User** or **Team**, then specify the responsible user or team. * Review your selected assets and inspect the automatically generated asset lineage graph on the right side. You can still add assets to the data product after it is created. * Click **Create Data Product** to proceed. See [Create a data product monitor](/docs/astro/observe-monitors#data-product-monitors) for information on monitoring data products. After completing these steps, your new data product will be available to view and manage under **Data Products**. ## View your data product details After you create a data product, you can view in-depth details about the performance of your assets by selecting your data product for a closer look. 1. Click **Observe** in the Astro UI, and then click **Data Products**. 2. Choose the data product that you want to view details about. When you see information about a specific data product, you can see summary performance data. This includes general statistics, like the average SLA success rate and information about when the data product was created and last updated. Additional details can be found in the following tabs. ### Overview The overview tab provides summary information about the assets in your data product and the rates of overall SLA success rates, consolidated into daily, weekly, and monthly overall rates. This view allows you to quickly identify trends in historical data for your business-critical pipelines. Example dashboard in the Overview page for a specific data product. ### Event timeline Each Data Product in Observe has an Event Timeline that reflects activity from the assets, like dag and task completion, and key issues, like breached SLAs and triggered alerts, in that data product. The event timeline supports filtering by event status along with more fine-grained filters. Selecting any particular event displays metadata about the event, including the notification history of a triggered alert. The event timeline view allows you to see a record of events associated with your data product. These are categorized into **Success**, **Neutral**, and **Failure** events. #### Success events * SLA Success * Task Success * Task Start #### Neutral events * Airflow dataset write * OpenLineage dataset write #### Failure events * Alert notification * SLA Breach * Task failure For more information about diagnosing failures, see [Root cause analysis and AI log summaries](/docs/astro/root-cause-analysis). ### Assets The **Assets** tab shows the assets included in the specific data product. If you select an asset from the list to examine in-depth, you can see additional asset-specific details. See [Assets](/docs/astro/assets-overview) for descriptions. ### Metrics Data products that include Airflow task assets report the following metrics by default: * Task retries * Task failures * Task duration ### Alerts The **Alerts** tab consolidates all alerts and SLAs that are specific to your selected data product. From this page you can [Add an alert](/docs/astro/observe-slas#create-an-alert), find an existing alert, and view the notification history for an alert.
