Schedules and sensors

Dagster offers several ways to run data pipelines without manual intervation, including traditional scheduling and event-based triggers. Automating your Dagster pipelines can boost efficiency and ensure that data is produced consistently and reliably.

Run requests

class dagster.RunRequest

class dagster.SkipReason

Represents a skipped evaluation, where no runs are requested. May contain a message to indicate why no runs were requested.

skip_message

A message displayed in the Dagster UI for why this evaluation resulted in no requested runs.

Type: Optional[str]

Schedules

Schedules are Dagster’s way to support traditional ways of automation, such as specifying a job should run at Mondays at 9:00AM. Jobs triggered by schedules can contain a subset of assets or ops.

@dagster.schedule

Creates a schedule following the provided cron schedule and requests runs for the provided job.

The decorated function takes in a ScheduleEvaluationContext as its only argument, and does one of the following:

Return a RunRequest object.
Return a list of RunRequest objects.
Return a SkipReason object, providing a descriptive message of why no runs were requested.
Return nothing (skipping without providing a reason)
Return a run config dictionary.
Yield a SkipReason or yield one ore more RunRequest objects. Returns a ScheduleDefinition.
