Machine Learning Monitoring Data Model Examples

Building the data model for machine learning monitoring means tracking model versions, predictions, ground truth, and drift metrics—all with clear relationships. These ERD examples show how production ML teams structure monitoring data for reliable observability.

How to

How to use an erd template.

  1. 01Identify monitored entities

    List the core objects you need to track, such as models, datasets, predictions, and ground truth labels.

  2. 02Define relationships

    Connect models to inference logs, features, and alert events so every monitoring query has a clear path.

  3. 03Add monitoring metrics

    Include tables for data drift, model performance, and bias metrics with timestamps and thresholds.

  4. 04Separate production vs reference data

    Model the difference between live prediction data and reference or validation datasets used for comparison.

  5. 05Generate the ERD

    Use the generator to turn your entity list and relationships into a shareable diagram.

FAQ

Questions about erd templates

What tables are typically included in a machine learning monitoring data model?

Common tables include models, model versions, inference logs, prediction results, ground truth labels, feature snapshots, drift metrics, and alert events.

How do I design an ERD for monitoring model drift?

Create a metrics table linked to model version and timestamp, storing drift measurements for each feature or data distribution.

Should prediction data and ground truth labels be in separate tables?

Yes, keep them separate because ground truth may arrive later and can be used for delayed evaluation; link them via a prediction ID.

Can these ERD examples be adapted for different ML use cases?

Absolutely—replace or extend entities like "recommendation" or "sensor" with your application-specific prediction and feature names while keeping the core monitoring relationships.

Do I need a separate table for bias detection?

Bias detection metrics often belong in a metrics table with a metric type field, but if you track fairness groups and slices, you may need a separate table for group-level metrics.
