Get the guideIn this tutorial, we will explore the Run Visibility feature in dbt Cloud, which provides a dashboard for monitoring your project's job runs and allows you to rerun jobs as needed. This feature can help you identify areas for improvement in your scheduled jobs and keep track of your project's health.
Run Visibility is a dashboard in dbt Cloud that displays a project's job run history, including job name, status, environment, trigger, commit SHA, schema, and timing information. It allows users to review recent runs, find errored runs, track the progress of runs in progress, retry jobs from the start or failure point, and receive notifications about job statuses. It can be accessed by clicking Deploy and then Run history in the top navigation menu.
To access the Run History Dashboard in dbt Cloud, follow these steps:
Click on the "Deploy" tab in the top navigation menu, and then click on "Run history." This will take you to the Run History Dashboard, where you can view your project's job runs.
On the Run History Dashboard, you can see a list of job runs with information such as job name, status, associated environment, job trigger, commit SHA, schema, and timing info. Use the filters at the top of the dashboard to focus on specific aspects of your project, such as runs with a particular status or runs within a certain time frame.
Keep an eye on the progress of your job runs by checking their status on the dashboard. You can see if a run is in progress, has completed successfully, or has encountered an error. Secoda's dbt integration and Slack notifications can also help you stay updated on the status of your jobs.
If you need to rerun a job, follow these steps:
From the Run History Dashboard, click on the job run you want to rerun. This will take you to the job's Run page.
In the upper right corner of the Run page, click the "Rerun" button. A dropdown menu will appear, allowing you to choose between "Rerun from start" and "Rerun from failure."
Select either "Rerun from start" to rerun the entire job or "Rerun from failure" to rerun only the failed steps. If you choose "Rerun from failure," a Rerun failed steps modal will open, listing the run steps that will be invoked, including the failed step and any skipped steps.
