# Generate observability report

Elementary data observability reports provide visualization and exploration of data from the dbt™ package tables. This includes dbt test results, Elementary anomaly detection results, dbt artifacts, test runs, and more.

## Generate report <a href="#generate-tests-report-ui" id="generate-tests-report-ui"></a>

To generate the Elementary report, execute the `edr report` command:

```shell
edr report
```

This command uses the provided connection profile to access the data warehouse, read from the Elementary tables, and generate the report as an HTML file.

### Filtering Reports

Elementary supports filtering the report by invocation during generation. The filtered report will only include data for the selected invocation (This applies only to the `Test Results` and `Lineage` screens).

There are three ways to filter the report by invocation:

1. **Last invocation -** Filter by the last invocation (`dbt test` / `dbt build`) that ran.

```bash
edr report --select last_invocation
```

2. **Invocation time**: Filter by the closest invocation to the provided time (in ISO format local time).

```bash
edr report --select "invocation_time:2022-12-25 10:10:35"
```

3. **Invocation id**: Filter by the provided invocation id.

```bash
edr report --select invocation_id:XXXXXXXXXXXXX
```

## Development report

After running `edr report` in the Paradime terminal, HTML and JSON files will be generated and saved in a folder called `edr_target` in your dbt™️ project.

To preview the report, use the following command in the terminal:

```bash
paradime serve
```

{% @arcade/embed url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/wYrFTZ8WsT5DKQqzVfMJ>" flowId="wYrFTZ8WsT5DKQqzVfMJ" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When done serving the Elementary Data observability report, use `Ctrl+C` to interrupt the process in the terminal.
{% endhint %}
