Creating alert policies

Dagster+ feature

This feature is only available in Dagster+.

You can create alert policies in the Dagster+ UI or with the dagster-cloud CLI.

Alert policies are configured on a per-deployment basis. This means, for example, that asset alerts configured in a prod deployment are only applicable to assets in that deployment.

note

To send alert notifications through a channel other than email, you will need to configure an alert notification service.

In the UI​

  1. In the Dagster+ UI, in the left sidebar, click Deployment.
  2. In the top nav, click Alert policies.
  3. Click Create alert policy.
  4. Choose the policy type from the menu and click Continue.
  5. Choose targets and events (if applicable) for your alert.
    • Health status change will notify when overall health status has changed.
    • Specific events will notify on materialization success or failure, asset check status, or freshness policy passing, warning, or failure, depending on configuration.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. Choose a notification channel for your alert and click Continue.
  8. Review your alert and click Save alert.
info

You cannot create an alert policy that notifies on both health status changes and on individual events (such as materialization failure).

Using the CLI​

  1. Create an alert policy configuration file. For examples, see the example configuration reference.
  2. Sync the alert policy configuration file to your Dagster+ deployment:
dagster-cloud deployment alert-policies sync -a /path/to/alert_policies.yaml
