Pipelines and Datasets

The Pipelines and Datasets pages show telemetry data collected from your dlt pipeline runs -- load metrics, success rates, row counts, and performance trends.

Pipelines page

Pipelines vs Jobs

A job is a script you deploy and run. A pipeline is a dlt pipeline object created inside that script (e.g., dlt.pipeline("my_pipeline")). One job can create multiple pipelines. The Jobs page manages execution; this page shows what the pipelines loaded.

Hero stats

Aggregated metrics across all pipelines for the selected time range: total runs, success rate, rows loaded, bytes loaded, average duration, and latest status.

Telemetry chart

Time-series visualization of pipeline activity. Toggle between views:

  • All -- combined overview
  • Runs -- execution count over time
  • Rows -- rows loaded over time
  • Bytes -- data volume over time
  • Duration -- average run duration over time

Click a pipeline row to open the pipeline detail page, which shows the same stats, chart, and a filtered pipeline runs table for that specific pipeline.

Pipeline runs table

Below the pipelines table, a list of recent pipeline run executions across all pipelines. Click a row to see the pipeline run detail page:

Pipeline run detail

This page shows:

  • Rows extracted and loaded
  • Bytes loaded and duration
  • Tables loaded with schema, row counts, write disposition, and format
  • Load package details and timing
  • dlt version and environment info

Datasets page

Datasets represent the target schemas where pipelines load data.

Click a dataset row to open the dataset detail page with focused stats, chart, and pipeline runs filtered for that dataset.

Time range

Both pages share a time range selector in the header (default: last 7 days) that controls all stats, charts, and tables.
