Hello! Thanks for developing elementary. I'm experimenting with it as we speak. I've stumbled upon something that I cannot explain, and I hope you can help me. I've managed to send slack messages with

edr monitor

, but sometimes they are 'skipped' when I use the same code. Could you help me understand the problem? I kept all defaults 🙂 .Thanks!

Hi @Belle de Veer, First of all welcome! Alerts can be skipped for a few reasons: 1. The alert if not from the latest dbt invocation- if you ran

dbt test

+

edr monitor

once, the alert will not be sent again 2. suppression interval was configured. This configuration is intended to prevent alert fatigue and means that if we send an alert once and suppression is set to, say, 24 hours, we will skip the alert on the same issue for 24 hours and only the send it again. 3. model / test was skipped in dbt - if a model fails to build, all the downstream models are skipped, their tests are skipped too and the alerts on them will be skipped as well (we will only alert on the failed model) I hope that helps!

Thanks @Ella Katz! It was number 1 😄
