Visualizing data lineage in IAM mode

Data lineage in IAM mode provides a visual graph representation of how data flows through your organization's data pipelines. You can trace the origin, transformation, and destination of your data assets, helping you understand data dependencies, troubleshoot data quality issues, and assess the impact of changes.

The lineage graph provides the following visualization capabilities:

• Interactive lineage graph — View data flow as a directed graph with nodes (datasets, jobs, job runs) connected by edges.

• Two graph modes:

  • Query Graph mode (default) — Fast server-side traversal that returns the lineage path efficiently.

  • Event Timestamp mode — Client-side recursive expansion that provides detailed node data including column-level lineage.

• Configurable graph depth — Control how many levels of upstream and downstream nodes to display (1–5 hops).

• Dataset-only view — Toggle to hide job and job run nodes for a simplified data flow view.
