Hi! I'm using Elementary OSS v0.20.1 with the dbt package. In our Airflow DAG, we run

dbt test -s 'tag:non-blocking-test tag:elementary'

in one task, then

edr monitor

in a subsequent task to send Slack alerts. We're seeing duplicate notifications: Airflow's failure callback fires when the dbt test task fails, and

edr monitor

sends its own Slack alert for the same failure. To avoid the duplication, we're trying to understand exactly what

edr monitor

picks up from the test results table. Does

edr monitor

alert on all dbt test failures stored in the Elementary results table (including generic dbt tests), or only on tests tagged with

tag:elementary

?

edr monitor

will alert on all failed dbt tests that Elementary has recorded, not just tests tagged with

tag:elementary

, unless you explicitly filter it. Key points from the docs and community threads: • Elementary records the results of all dbt tests (native, dbt-utils, custom, Elementary, etc.) into

elementary_test_results

via the

elementary.handle_tests_results

on‑run‑end hook.[elementary_test_results; All dbt tests] •

edr monitor

then reads from those results and sends alerts for failures according to your configuration; by default it is not limited to a specific tag.[CLI commands] • To restrict alerts to only certain tests (e.g., those tagged

elementary

), you must use the

--filters

flag, for example:edr monitor --filters tags:elementarywhich will only send alerts for tests/models whose aggregated tags include

elementary

.[Alerts CLI flags; Tag filtering example ] So in your current setup: •

dbt test -s 'tag:non-blocking-test tag:elementary'

controls which tests run, but •

edr monitor

(without

--filters

) will alert on any failures from that run, regardless of tag. If you want Elementary alerts only for the

tag:elementary

tests (and let Airflow/dbt handle others), run:

edr monitor --filters tags:elementary
