@kapa.ai If in dbt I have a yml file like this: version: 2 sources: - name: aaa_name database: prod schema: aaa_name tables: - name: aaa_table config: freshness: error_after: period: day count: 7 meta: channel: channel_1 then in airflow I have a DAG like this:

dag_id="elementary_edr_send_slack_report",
        arguments=[
            "edr",
            "monitor",
            "--select",
            "statuses:fail",
            "--slack-channel-name",
            "channel_2",
        ],
        pool="dbt",
    )

then when the freshness test of the table aaa_table fails in airflow, the notification would be sent to which channel?

Based on the knowledge sources, the alert would be sent to

channel_1

(the channel defined in the YAML

meta

). Here's why: • The

--slack-channel-name

specified in the

edr monitor

command is the default channel, used only for alerts that are not attributed to any custom channel in

meta

. [Send Slack alerts] • When a custom

channel

is explicitly defined in the resource's

meta

(as

channel: channel_1

is in your YAML), that takes precedence over the CLI default. [Custom channel explainer] So in your case: •

channel_1

(from

meta

) → wins, because it's a resource-level custom channel. •

channel_2

(from

--slack-channel-name

) → would only be used for alerts that have no custom channel defined in their

meta

. If you wanted the alert to go to

channel_2

instead, you would need to remove the

channel: channel_1

from the

meta

block in your YAML. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @elementary.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
