Has anyone built models on the data from the Elementary package and exposed this in a BI platform e.g. Looker?

@Andrew Findlay I know several of our users did that. What are you trying to build?

I have inherited a large and quite messy dbt project, to the point we have over a hundred jobs with 900 or so models, and we have no real oversight of job or model performance. I've been working on building something to expose model & jobs execution times so we can monitor these in Looker. I appreciate there is this functionality in the Elementary report, but I find it's not quite granular enough and is still quite manual to go through to see each model.

@Andrew Findlay This is a thread from someone who created a model timing exploration with Elementary and Plotly: https://getdbt.slack.com/archives/C01NH3F2E05/p1680268887658689
