Observability for the BI connector

New Features

Tinybird’s BI Connector is a PostgreSQL-compatible interface to data in Tinybird.

All Data Sources and published Pipes created in Tinybird are available as standard Postgres tables when you connect a BI tool to Tinybird, such as Tableau, Apache SuperSet or Grafana.

Until recently, BI usage was not available to track. We have now made two new service datasources available that show stats about the BI Connector consumption: bi_stats_rt (real time) and bi_stats (aggregated per day and per query).

This information is also visible in a new information module in the dashboard for the BI Connector (only visible when active) and the Query API (visible to everyone).
