Connection settings on a page, connection health in the rail
The connection form is no longer a dialog. Each connection's Settings is a page in three sections, and the Data rail now tells you at a glance how big each connection is and whether it works.
The rail knows your connections
Every connection in the rail of Settings → Admin → Data now shows:
- its size — how many schemas or datasets it covers and how many tables they hold;
- its semantic coverage — dbt models, metrics and virtual models, when there are any;
- its health — Connected, Failed or Not tested, with how long ago the last test ran.
Health is remembered: the result of Test connection is stored on the connection, and Axiome also tests the credentials when you create a connection or change them. Nothing is probed just because you opened the page.
Settings as a page
A connection's Settings is now one page with Test connection and Save at the top:
- General — name, description, and a switch to make it the default connection.
- Credentials — where the data lives and how Axiome signs in. The type is fixed once created; a successful test lists the schemas or datasets it can see.
- Schemas (or Datasets) — the ones Axi can see, as chips. The first one is primary; add more from the list a test returns.
- Danger zone — delete the connection.
Adding a connection uses the same page: pick a source in the catalog and you land on a new-connection page for that type.
