⚑Quickstart Guide

Welcome! This guide will help you get started with Euno and see value in your first session.

What You'll Accomplish

By the end of this guide, you will:

  • βœ“ Connect your first data source to Euno

  • βœ“ Explore your data model and understand lineage

  • βœ“ Ask your first question using the AI Assistant

Time Required: 30 minutes Recommended First Integration: dbt or DWH (you'll see results fastest)


Before You Begin

Make sure you have:


Step 1: Connect Your First Source (10 minutes)

Choose Your Starting Point

We recommend starting with one of these:

Option A: dbt (Best if you use dbt)

  • Shows your transformations and logic

  • Provides immediate value with model relationships

  • Quick to set up with GitHub or dbt Cloud

Option B: DWH (Best if you don't use dbt)

  • Maps your entire warehouse structure

  • Provides usage and cost data

  • Shows which tables are actually being queried

Option C: BI Tool (Best for understanding BI usage)

  • Shows what dashboards exist

  • Reveals which data sources are most used

  • Identifies optimization opportunities

Quick Setup

  1. Navigate to Sources

    • Click "Sources" in the left sidebar

    • Click "Add New Source"

  2. Select Your Integration

    • Choose the platform you want to connect

    • Click "Configure"

  3. Enter Credentials

    • Follow the platform-specific instructions

    • Test the connection

    • Click "Save"

  4. Run Your First Sync

    • Click "Run Now" to start discovering resources

    • This may take 5-15 minutes depending on your data stack size

    • You can continue to Step 2 while it runs

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: While your first source is syncing, read through the Core Concepts page to understand how Euno maps your data.


Step 2: Explore Your Data Model (10 minutes)

Once your first source has finished syncing, it's time to explore.

View Your Resources

  1. Open the Data Model Screen

    • Click "Data Model" in the sidebar

    • You'll see a list of all discovered resources

  2. Understand What You're Seeing

    • Resources: Every table, column, dashboard, model, etc.

    • Properties: Metadata like owner, description, last updated

    • Usage Data: How often each resource is queried or viewed

Explore a Resource

  1. Click on any resource to see its detail information

  2. Notice these key sections:

    • Description & Properties: What is this resource?

    • Code/Logic: How is it defined? (for transformations)

    • Lineage: What does it depend on?

    • Usage: How much is it being used?

    • Downstream Impact: What depends on it?

Try the Graph View

  1. Click "View Lineage" from any resource detail page

  2. Explore the graph:

    • Blue arrows show data flowing upstream β†’ downstream

    • Click nodes to expand and see more connections

    • Use the controls to filter by resource type

Exercise: Find a Heavily Used Resource

  1. Go to Data Model screen

  2. Sort by usage (impressions or queries)

  3. Click on the top resource

  4. View its lineage to understand its data flow


Step 3: Ask the AI Assistant (5 minutes)

Let's use natural language to explore your metadata.

Open the AI Assistant

  1. Click "AI Assistant" in the sidebar

  2. You'll see a chat interface

Try These Starter Queries

Copy and paste these questions (or create your own):

Understanding Your Data:

Finding Specific Resources:

Exploring Relationships:

Identifying Issues:

Understanding the Results

  • The AI Assistant converts your natural language to EQL queries

  • Results are shown in a table format

  • You can click any resource to see its detail page

  • You can ask follow-up questions to dig deeper


Step 4: Identify Your First Opportunity (5 minutes)

Now let's find something actionable.

Find Ungoverned Data

Ask the AI Assistant:

If you see results:

  • These are tables that exist in your warehouse but aren't managed by your transformation tool

  • They might be:

    • Legacy tables that can be deprecated

    • Ad-hoc tables that should be formalized

    • External tables that need documentation

Find Unused Resources

Ask the AI Assistant:

If you see results:

  • These are candidates for deprecation

  • Cleaning them up can reduce maintenance burden

  • Archive them or discuss with owners


Next Steps

Congratulations! You've completed the Euno quickstart. Here's what to do next:

  1. Connect More Sources

  2. Set Up Your First Workflow

  3. Add Metadata Tags

  4. Perform an Impact Analysis

  5. Set Up Data Model Sync (if you use dbt + Looker)

  6. Explore Advanced EQL Queries

  7. Enable MCP Integration


Common Questions

Q: How often does Euno sync my data sources? A: By default, sources sync daily. You can configure this in the source settings or trigger manual syncs anytime.

Q: Does Euno affect my data warehouse performance? A: No. Euno only reads metadata and query logs. It doesn't query your actual data.

Q: Can I control what resources are discovered? A: Yes. Each source integration has filters to include/exclude specific schemas, databases, or projects.

Q: How do I invite my team? A: Go to Account Management β†’ Team Members β†’ Invite. You can set roles and permissions for each user.

Q: What if I make a mistake? A: Most actions are reversible. You can disconnect sources, delete resources, or reset configurations. However, be careful with bulk deletions.
