A data snapshot is a persisted representation of data captured at a particular point in time. In monitoring workflows, snapshots provide the historical records needed to compare data across intervals and visualize changes in a dashboard. section 6.2.1
Use snapshots to organize monitoring history:
- Store snapshots inside projects, with a workspace acting as the directory that organizes projects and their logs. section 6.2.1
- Compare current and reference datasets to produce data-drift reports and track metrics over time. section 6.2.1
- Select snapshots through dashboard filters and render their measurements as counters, plots, bars, scatters, or histograms. section 6.2.1
Organizing income-classifier snapshots
A workspace can contain an income-classifier project with files such as snapshot_1.json and snapshot_2.json. A RemoteWorkspace connected to the local Evidently UI creates the project, after which dashboard panels can display drift measurements across its snapshots.
