Introducing Bigeye’s Looker Connector: Lineage-Enabled Observability for Looker Workflows

We’re excited to announce the launch of Bigeye’s Looker Connector, a powerful new tool that brings column-level lineage to Looker environments. With this addition, Bigeye now helps data teams trace dependencies across Looker’s integration, semantic, and transformation layers, all the way through to its visualization outputs.

What Makes the Looker Connector Special?‍

Tracking lineage in BI tools can often be a complex and manual process. The Looker Connector changes that by automating lineage generation and offering visibility into how data moves and transforms within Looker. This includes:

• Column-Level Lineage: See how data is transformed and flows through your Looker instance with unmatched granularity.
• Comprehensive SQL Support: Parse custom SQL within Looker to track transformations, no matter how layered or complex.
• Cross-Source Coverage: Tie together Looker’s data with the rest of your stack, including legacy systems like SSIS.

How It Works‍

Get started with Bigeye’s Looker Connector by simply adding your credentials and you’ll be on the way to mapping out lineage. It works across Looker’s integration and transformation layers (including semantic models and custom SQL) and provides clear, actionable insights into dependencies.

Why This Matters‍

Data teams rely on Looker for business-critical insights, but maintaining trust in those dashboards depends on knowing exactly how data is transformed and where it comes from. Bigeye’s Looker Connector simplifies this process by automating lineage generation, allowing teams to spend less time troubleshooting and more time delivering value.

Part of Your Enterprise Data Ecosystem‍

The Looker Connector builds on Bigeye’s established lineage capabilities for tools like Tableau and Power BI. Together, these integrations provide comprehensive coverage for enterprise data pipelines, spanning cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.
