While running a pipeline, you might experience errors. These errors are often due to a mismatch between the expectation of the pipeline and the source data. System or networking errors can also occur while the pipeline is running. The sys.pipeline_errors system catalog table lists extraction, transformation, and pipeline errors.

sys.pipeline_errors_historical

This view shows pipeline errors for pipelines that have been dropped from the system. The view is the historical equivalent of sys.pipeline_errors.

sys.pipeline_events

While your pipeline is running, the pipeline generates events in the sys.pipeline_events system catalog table to mark significant checkpoints when something has occurred. For details about the lists of files, see the sys.pipeline_files system catalog table. Pipeline events include messages from many different tasks. These events are the background processes that execute across different Loader Nodes during pipeline operation. For details about tasks, you can query the sys.tasks and sys.subtasks system catalog tables.

sys.pipeline_events_historical

This view shows pipeline events for pipelines that have been dropped from the system. The view is the historical equivalent of sys.pipeline_events.

sys.pipeline_metrics

Find metrics that measure the performance and activity of a pipeline in the sys.pipeline_metrics view. This table contains one row for each metric at a specified point in time. Metrics are either instantaneous or incremental. Instantaneous metrics reflect the current value of a counter at the time of the metric collection. Incremental metrics increase over time and reflect the cumulative value for a specified counter. The first snapshot of a metric appears when it is initialized. Afterward, the system updates the metric every 10 seconds. Each metric has a scope that defines its uniqueness. Do not aggregate metrics across different scopes. The scope columns are pipeline_id, extractor_task_id, partition_id, and sink_index. If the value of any of these columns is NULL, the scope applies to all values in that dimension.

sys.pipeline_metrics_historical

This view shows pipeline metrics for pipelines that have been dropped from the system. The view is the historical equivalent of sys.pipeline_metrics.

sys.pipeline_tables

This table contains all of the table identifiers currently associated with pipeline objects in the system.

sys.pipeline_tasks

The Ocient System implements the internals of a pipeline using distributed tasks. Each pipeline has a unique pipeline identifier pipeline_id. Every time that a START PIPELINE SQL statement is executed, the Ocient System generates a run_pipeline task that serves as the main coordinator task. This task automatically partitions the source data into smaller units and creates a run_extractor task for each one. Then, the Ocient System sends each run_extractor task and executes it on a Loader Node. In the sys.pipeline_tasks system catalog table, you can see the run_pipeline and run_extractor tasks.
