Summary

The Fivetran Platform Connector is an upgraded feature that provides robust metadata on data changes, in addition to detailed logging and usage information. It serves as the primary means of communication between Fivetran and its customers, addressing auditing and monitoring use cases such as overseeing users and access, drawing data lineage, troubleshooting data pipelines, and tracking usage. The Platform Connector enables compliance auditing by providing a record of changes made to data, including source information and detailed logs about actions or changes made to the system. It also provides information on user access and activity, supports monitoring connections, and optimizes billing and usage tracking. Additionally, Fivetran offers Quickstart data models for the Platform Connector to accelerate metadata analysis.
