The Data Quality section has left the building. It wasn't getting enough love inside Dalgo, and Elementary — the tool that powered it — is honestly happier when you run it yourself.

Data Quality Section Retired​

The Data Quality tab in the sidebar, along with the Elementary report setup screens, is gone. Your existing pipelines have been cleaned up too — the automated "send report" step no longer runs alongside your dbt jobs, so pipelines finish faster and with fewer moving parts.

  • Nothing to migrate — if you weren't actively looking at the Data Quality page, you won't notice a thing.
  • Pipelines are lighter — the extra Elementary step has been removed from every pipeline that had it.

Running Elementary Reports Yourself​

Elementary still works beautifully as a local CLI against your Dalgo warehouse. A quick recipe:

  1. Install the CLI in a Python environment. Dalgo was running elementary-data==0.22.0, so pin to that version to stay compatible with the _elementary tables already in your warehouse: pip install "elementary-data==0.22.0" plus the adapter for your warehouse (for most Dalgo setups that's "elementary-data[postgres]==0.22.0").
  2. From your dbt project, run dbt run-operation elementary.generate_elementary_cli_profile and paste the output into ~/.dbt/profiles.yml. Fill in any missing password or token.
  3. Run edr report. Elementary reads your warehouse, builds a self-contained HTML dashboard, and opens it in your browser.
