What does Atlan crawl from dbt Cloud?

Atlan crawls and maps the following assets and properties from dbt Cloud. Atlan also supports lineage between the following:

• dbt models
• SQL tables materialized from dbt source tables and dbt models
• SQL tables materialized from dbt source tables and SQL tables materialized by dbt models
• SQL tables materialized by dbt models
• Column-lineage for all of the above

Once you've crawled dbt, you can use dbt-specific filters for quick asset discovery:

• Test status — filter dbt tests that passed, failed, or have a warning
• Alias — filter by the name of a dbt model's identifier in the dbt project
• Unique id — filter by the unique node identifier of a dbt model
• Account name — filter by dbt account name
• Project name — filter by dbt project name
• Job name — filter by dbt job name
• Package name — filter by dbt package name
• Environment name — filter by dbt environment name
• Job status — filter by dbt job status
• Last job run — filter by the last run of the dbt job
• Last job run (created at) — filter by when a job run was created
• Last job run (updated at) — filter by when a job run was completed
• Last job run (dequeued at) — filter by when the dbt job scheduler dequeued a job from the wait queue and triggered a run
• Last job run (started at) — filter by when the latest job run started after the job scheduler triggered a run

Atlan's dbt connectivity also populates custom metadata to further enrich the assets in Atlan. The Atlan dbt-specific property column in the tables below gives the name of the mapped custom metadata property in Atlan.
