There are several reasons why alerts might be skipped when running

edr monitor

, and there are ways to address this behavior: ### Common reasons for skipped alerts: 1. Suppression interval: By default, Elementary skips similar alerts for a certain period to prevent alert fatigue. 2. Previous alerts already sent: If you've already sent an alert for the same issue in a previous run, it won't be sent again. 3. Configuration in dbt_project.yml: You might have vars like

disable_warn_alerts

or

disable_skipped_model_alerts

enabled. 4. Upstream failures: If a model upstream failed, downstream tests might be skipped. ### How to prevent skipping alerts: 1. Set suppression interval to 0:

edr monitor --suppression-interval 0

This ensures alerts aren't suppressed based on time [CLI options](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/cli-commands#cli-options). 2. Override dbt project configuration:

edr monitor --override-dbt-project-config --slack-token <your_slack_token> --slack-channel-name <slack_channel> --suppression-interval 0

This ignores any alert configuration in your dbt project [CLI options](https://docs.elementary-data.com/oss/cli-commands#cli-options). 3. Check your dbt_project.yml for these vars and remove or set them to false:

vars:      disable_warn_alerts: false      disable_skipped_model_alerts: false      disable_skipped_test_alerts: false

4. Run

edr monitor

after each dbt run to ensure you're getting alerts for the most recent state of your models and tests. If you're still experiencing issues with skipped alerts, it might be worth checking if your Elementary tables are being properly materialized. In one case, a user found that their alerts weren't being sent because the

alerts_dbt_tests

table wasn't being refreshed correctly due to materialization settings in their project.yml file. Let me know if you need more specific help with your setup!
