Hello, I'm on meltano 1.7.4 (installed by using
pip install meltano
) Is it suppose to be "connection" tab there, or do I need to do something to make it show up?

That looks like the complete UI. What are you trying to do? https://meltano.com/docs/ui.html#extractors

Hello, I am trying to make a dashboard and add a report (visualization) into it. I use
tap-carbon-density
as extractor, and
sqlite
as loader. I am able to make a pipeline, and I can confirm that the database file (
warehouse.db
) has been populated. The problem is: the explore button in the pipeline tab was disabled. I guess I suppose to see something like this https://meltano.com/docs/analysis.html#explore-your-data, or probably I need to create custom report from CLI or something (not sure). Could you please point me to the right direction? Thanks in advance 🙂

https://meltano.com/docs/analysis.html#supported-data-sources lists the currently supported data sources available in the UI. Keep in mind that we’re focusing primarily on the CLI right now and the UI has not been prioritized or updated in a while (that will change later this year!). As such, things may not work like you expect in the UI unfortunately.

Hello again, I've just try to use
tap-gitlab
as extractor. But the
explore
button is still disabled. As you said, UI is not prioritized at the moment. But I just want to make sure, is the behavior (disabled explore button) expected? PS: Alternatively, I can use redash or something for the dashboard. So, it is perfectly okay if the feature is not there yet.

I believe it’s tied to also using the dbt package for tap-gitlab https://gitlab.com/meltano/dbt-tap-gitlab But those are quite out of date and we’ll likely remove them from the product later this year. (the maintenance burden on these is huge for not much value imo)
