Hi, I have a few questions regarding

send-report

and

monitor

cmd. My use case is I have a few anomaly detection tests set up in dbt, I use airflow to orchestrate when tests run. I also want to have a weekly cron job to send report to slack channel only for these anomaly detection tests (We have tons of dbt tests so I want to exclude these) 1. Trigger a dbt job.

dbt test -s tag:elementary

2. Query DWH to get

invocation_id

by

run_job_id

in

dbt_invocations

table 3. Use EDR cmd to generate and send to Slack channel.

edr send-report --select invocation_id:0f563007-a9b3-49cd-a282-9794d0df0d3b --slack-token TOKEN --slack-channel-name CHANNEL

The issue I am facing is that step 3 CLI ignore

--select invoaction_id:xxxx

part, but instead generate the report for all dbt tests. My questions are 1. Do I need to run

dbt test --select elementary

to build related tables for UI visualization every time before running

edr send-report

or

edr monitor

? 2. What is wrong with my

edr send-report

cmd?

Hey Leo! 🙂 •

edr monitor

does not have an invocation filter, but can be filtered by tags (

-fl tags:elementary

,

--select

was deprecated). This way you will only get the relevant Slack alerts. •

edr send-report

is meant to work with

--select invocation_id:

. If you open the attached HTML report, you will see that it only shows the relevant tables and tests. However, I see that there is an issue with the summary. As you said, it shows all recent test results without the invocation filter. Feel free to open an issue on our github and our team will fix it when they can. • For visualizations, the full edr report can be filtered by tags on every screen. Let us know if this helps!

Hi Noya, thanks for answers. Yes, monitor with filter works as expected. I have created issue 1777 with more details

Thank you Leo! We're making some changes in the way we generate our alert messages, once it's done (very soon!) we will post an update in the community. After the change, any contribution will be much easier and will be happily accepted with all guidelines 🙂

@Noya Offer Following up on this thread. I see there are a few updates in last weeks, but I can't link them back to this. Are the changes done? The reason I am asking is due to this error, we can't widely adopt this framework
