Slack & Dagster+#

In the UI#

1. Create and configure an alert policy. Refer to the Managing alerts in Dagster+ guide for more info.

2. In the Notification Service section of the Create alert policy window, select the Slack option.

3. In the field that displays, enter the name of the Slack channel you added the @Dagster+ bot user to.

   Note: One channel is allowed per alert policy. To post alerts to multiple channels, first invite the @Dagster+ bot and then create a new alert policy that posts to that channel.

4. Click Save policy.

dagster-cloud CLI#

To define a Slack alert policy in code, use the following keys to configure the alert:

• notification_service.slack.slack_workspace_name - The name of the Slack workspace connected to Dagster+
• notification_service.slack.slack_channel_name - The name of the Slack channel the @Dagster+ user is a member of

# alert_policies.yaml

alert_policies:
  - name: "slack-alert-policy"
    description: "An alert policy to send a Slack notification to sales on job failure or success."
    tags:
      - key: "team"
        value: "sales"
    event_types:
      - "JOB_SUCCESS"
      - "JOB_FAILURE"
    notification_service:
      slack:
        slack_workspace_name: "hooli"
        slack_channel_name: "sales-notifications"

Then, use the dagster-cloud CLI to set the alert policies for the deployment:

dagster-cloud deployment alert-policies sync -a /path/to/alert_policies.yaml
