Tier 1 Troubleshooting

Asset health

Check the Asset Health page for failed materializations. If there are any, click on the link to the Asset Overview and click the "Materialize..." button to force a new run. If the asset is partitioned, go to the "Partitions" view, filter for "Failed" partitions and materialize only those partitions.

Slack alerts

Check #dagster-alerts on Slack for failed Job runs. These are rare, but you may see some logs from our nightly user-provisioning scripts. Typically, they indicate an issue on the vendor side or something that will require a manual intervention (e.g. a rehire uses their work email as their personal email on ADP) or a code change. Log them on Asana.

Tableau Workbooks

How to manage Tableau refresh schedules

Our Tableau workbook assets are defined according to the configurations contained in src/teamster/code_locations/kipptaf/tableau/config/assets.yaml.

To create or update a refresh schedule:

Add or edit the value of assets[*].metadata.cron_schedule with a valid cron string. It can be either a string (for a single schedule tick) or a list of strings (for multiple).

Tip

Use crontab guru as a cron reference.

- name: My Tableau Workbook
  deps:
    - [spam, eggs, jeff]
  metadata:
    id: 0n371m37-h34c-702w-h0p1-4y3dm2831v3d
    cron_schedule: 0 2 * * *
- name: My Other Tableau Workbook
  deps:
    - [foo, bar, baz]
  metadata:
    id: 3235470n-h158-4115-4nd7-h3yh4d705hu7
    cron_schedule:
      - 0 0 * * *
      - 0 12 * * *

To "turn off" a schedule, simply comment out the cron_schedule attribute:

- name: My Tableau Workbook
  deps:
    - [spam, eggs, jeff]
  metadata:
    id: 0n371m37-h34c-702w-h0p1-4y3dm2831v3d
    # cron_schedule: 0 2 * * *
- name: My Other Tableau Workbook
  deps:
    - [foo, bar, baz]
  metadata:
    id: 3235470n-h158-4115-4nd7-h3yh4d705hu7
    # cron_schedule:
    #   - 0 0 * * *
    #   - 0 12 * * *
