To schedule Elementary using Airflow with dbt Core, you should orchestrate Elementary CLI commands as Airflow tasks, typically after your dbt runs or tests. The most common approach is to use the BashOperator in your Airflow DAG to execute the relevant Elementary CLI commands. Here’s a basic example of how you can set this up:
Copy code
python from datetime import datetime import os from airflow import DAG from airflow.operators.bash_operator import BashOperator  with DAG(     dag_id='dbt_edr_dag',     start_date=datetime(2022, 9, 1),     description='An Airflow DAG to invoke dbt and Elementary commands',     schedule_interval='0 0 * * *',  # Adjust as needed ) as dag:      dbt_run = BashOperator(         task_id='dbt_run',         bash_command=f"dbt run --profiles-dir {os.getenv('DBT_PROFILES_DIR')}"     )      dbt_test = BashOperator(         task_id='dbt_test',         bash_command=f"dbt test --profiles-dir {os.getenv('DBT_PROFILES_DIR')}"     )      edr_monitor = BashOperator(         task_id='elementary_monitor',         bash_command=f"edr monitor --profiles-dir {os.getenv('DBT_PROFILES_DIR')} --slack-token {os.getenv('SLACK_TOKEN')} --slack-channel-name {os.getenv('EDR_SLACK_CHANNEL')}"     )      dbt_run >> dbt_test >> edr_monitor
- Make sure the Airflow environment has access to the
profiles.yml
file and the necessary credentials. - You can also use the
edr monitor send-report
command to generate and send reports, for example to Slack or to a file. - If you use Docker with Airflow, you can use the Elementary Docker image to run these commands in a containerized environment. This approach allows you to schedule Elementary to run after your dbt jobs, ensuring that monitoring and reporting are always up-to-date with your latest data pipeline runs. You can adjust the schedule and commands as needed for your workflow and reporting preferences.
