Keboola Status

New Features

• Tables in shared buckets and table aliases now contain metadata from the source tables. In practice, this means that when you create an input mapping for transformations using tables in shared buckets (or aliases), you see the source table data types.

• In the API response, the source table metadata are contained in the `sourceTable` node – so both the table and alias metadata are available.

New Components

A number of components by Revolt BI:

• Daktela Extractor (revolt-bi.app-daktela) – extracts and transforms data from the Daktela service using Daktela API V6.

• Divide CSV into Batches processor (revolt-bi.processor-batchify) – converts CSV files into several batches of CSV files with a header.

• Favi.cz Extractor (revolt-bi.ex-favi) – scraper for https://www.favi.cz/

• RTB House Extractor (revolt-bi.ex-rtbhouse) – extractor for RTB House Panel

Updated Components

GoodData Writer

• Supports reading the Logical Data Model (LDM) from a project.

Minor Improvements & Fixes

• Google Drive verification issue in the EU region has been resolved.

• In the input mapping of Snowflake transformations, the TIMESTAMP data type now defaults to TIMESTAMP_NTZ.

• Terminated job is colored in the same way as a terminated label.

There is an issue which causes a 404 error (Page not found) to be displayed after login. We're working on a fix, which should be ready shortly.

The issue affects only log-in of certain users on the UI. Jobs running inside projects are unaffected.

Update 13:01 UTC: The problem is fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience, we'll share more details in a post-mortem.

Since July 26 2019 there was an issue with authorisation of our Google related components using OAuth in the EU region.

We needed to undergo a verification process of our apps by Google. This process has been recently made more strict and we weren't able to finish it before the deadline.

We are very sorry about this, we should have paid more attention to this process and the consequences related to not complying with it.

We have now successfully verified most of our Google components. We are still waiting for the verification of GMail Extractor and GMail Attachments Extractor.

Today, 30.7.2019, 18:30 CET we noticed errors when creating projects using promocodes via https://try.keboola.com. We rollbacked app to the previous version and everything is working now. Moreover we continue investigating the cause of the error.

We are investigating a Google Drive Extractor authorization verification issue in Keboola Connection EU.

Only creation of new configurations is affected.

We will provide an update as soon as the issue is resolved.

Update 2019-08-14: The verification issue is resolved and new configuration are working again.

Some of our users experienced errors in Keboola Connection (in both regions) yesterday when saving configurations of several components.

An error was displayed to users who tried to save their configuration between Jul 9, 2019, 12:35 CET and Jul 10, 2019, 14:18 CET.

Mainly users who have an older version of Chrome Browser or any version of the Firefox browser were affected.

The issue was caused by wrong response headers (unsupported by the mentioned browsers) being sent to a preflight request on one of our API services.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Three weeks ago we announced the start of Keboola Connection redesign.

We're glad we can share another important update with you.

We moved the navigation from the left side to the top

This allows you to more quickly navigate within a project and should improve user experience. All sections remain the same and the content hasn't changed.

• Project Settings can be found on the right side (by clicking on the "cogs")
  

• The Project Selector is almost the same as before

• The User Settings menu has a new home on the top right side

• Also, we added a shortcut to the Trash, so you no longer need to navigate there through User & Settings

We hope you'll like this update as much as we do.

Zendesk is down, so our support system is inaccessible. Keboola Connection is unaffected, but if you run into anything critical, please reach us via email.

We'll update this post when we obtain more information.

Update 14:36 UTC - Looks like things are back to normal now.
