Lineage Not Showing in UI Despite Successful Ingestion

Lineage relationships have been successfully ingested (confirmed via API), but lineage graphs do not render or display in the DataHub UI for certain users or assets.

Note: For DataHub Cloud customers, infrastructure-level changes are managed by DataHub Support.

1. Verify lineage was ingested:

curl -X POST 'https://your-datahub.acryl.io/api/graphql' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "query": "{ dataset(urn: \"YOUR_URN\") { upstreamLineage { entities { urn } } } }"
  }'

2. Check user permissions:

   • Verify the user has permissions to view lineage
   • Some organizations restrict lineage visibility by policy
   • Test with an Admin user to rule out permissions

3. Refresh the UI:

   • Clear browser cache and hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R)
   • Try in incognito/private browsing mode
   • Test in a different browser
   • Check browser console for JavaScript errors

4. Verify lineage rendering settings:

   • Some lineage views have filters that may hide relationships
   • Check if "Show Expanded Lineage" is enabled
   • Verify time range filters are not excluding the lineage

5. For persistent issues:

   • Request Elasticsearch reindex from support (cloud customers)
   • Check DataHub frontend logs for rendering errors
   • Provide specific dataset URNs to support for investigation

Test configurations in a development environment before applying to production. Always backup configurations before making changes.
