dbt artifacts viewer

The dbt artifacts viewer in dbt-Workbench reads your dbt artifacts so lineage, runs, catalog metadata, and docs previews stay in sync. Keep artifacts current to ensure the UI reflects the latest project state.

Required artifacts

Mount the following files into the DBT_ARTIFACTS_PATH directory:

• manifest.json
• run_results.json
• catalog.json

Docs assets

If you run dbt docs generate, include the generated index.html and assets alongside the artifacts. dbt-Workbench will host the docs viewer directly from these files.

How artifacts are used

Artifact	Used for
manifest.json	Model lineage, compiled SQL, dependencies
