One control plane, beside your BI — nothing phones home
MetaMiner runs on your infrastructure, reads your BI platforms three ways, and lands everything in a database you own. Deep where catalogs are shallow; yours where the rest are SaaS.
Three ways in, because one is never enough.
No single interface exposes everything. MetaMiner merges all three, then reconciles them into one coherent picture.
Platform API & SDK
The catalog and current state — reports, models, users, groups, permissions — through each vendor's own SDK and REST APIs.
Repository database
The operational history native tools discard: sign-ins, job success and failure, refresh history, delivery results — read-only, where a repository exists.
Deep content parse
The logic inside: universe and custom SQL, DAX, Power Query M, Tableau calculations and joins, resolved to real tables and columns. This is what turns an inventory into lineage.
The MMDB — a repository you actually own.
Everything MetaMiner extracts lands in the MMDB: an ordinary, documented, schema-stable PostgreSQL database that runs on your infrastructure under your backup and retention policy. One database, three platforms side by side. Nothing is hosted by us; nothing leaves your walls.

One engine, every operation.
Lineage & impact
Trace any field, object or data source across the estate — instant, fleet-wide, from an in-memory index.
Security & access
Resolved effective access through nested groups, exported as audit-ready evidence.
Monitoring & capacity
Failing refreshes, throttled capacity and degradation, surfaced before users feel them.
Diff & compare
Structural comparison of content, sources and permissions across environments and over time.
Migration & promotion
Dependency- and security-aware promotion, with WebiRemapper for UNV-to-UNX modernization.
Snapshots & history
Every pull cycle writes an immutable point-in-time snapshot — the sequence is your change history.
Provably safe by architecture.
MetaMiner is not SaaS. It runs as a process you control, reads over encrypted channels with read-only accounts, and can run fully read-only. Your metadata never leaves your perimeter.
