Deadline Alerts allow you to set time thresholds for your DAG runs and automatically +respond when those thresholds are exceeded. You can set up Deadline Alerts by choosing a built-in +reference point, setting an interval, and defining a response using either Airflow's Notifiers or +a custom callback function. + +Creating a Deadline Alert +------------------------- + +To create a Deadline Alert, you'll need to specify three components: + +* A reference: When to start counting from +* An interval: How far before or after the reference point to trigger the alert +* A callback: What to do when the deadline is exceeded + +Here is how Deadlines are calculated: + +:: + + [Reference] ------ [Interval] ------> [Deadline] + ^ ^ + | | + Start time Trigger point + +Here's an example DAG implementation. If the DAG has not finished 15 minutes after it was queued, send an email: + +.. code-block:: python + + from datetime import datetime, timedelta + from airflow import DAG + from airflow.sdk.definitions.deadline import DeadlineAlert, DeadlineReference + from airflow.providers.smtp.notifications.smtp import SmtpNotifier + from airflow.providers.standard.operators.empty import EmptyOperator + + with DAG( + dag_id="deadline_alert_example", + deadline=DeadlineAlert( + reference=DeadlineReference.DAGRUN_QUEUED_AT, + interval=timedelta(minutes=15), + callback=SmtpNotifier( + to="[email protected]", + subject="[Alert] DAG {{ dag.dag_id }} exceeded time threshold", + html_content="The DAG has been running for more than 15 minutes since being queued.", + ), + ), + ): + EmptyOperator(task_id="example_task") + +The timeline for this example would look like this: + +:: + + |------|-----------|---------|-----------|--------| + Scheduled Queued Started Deadline + 00:00 00:03 00:05 00:18 + +Using Built-in References +------------------------- + +Airflow provides several built-in reference points that you can use with DeadlineAlert: + +``DeadlineReference.DAGRUN_QUEUED_AT`` + Measures time from when the DagRun was queued. Useful for monitoring resource constraints. + +``DeadlineReference.DAGRUN_LOGICAL_DATE`` + References when the DAG run was scheduled to start. For example, setting an interval of + ``timedelta(minutes=15)`` would trigger the alert if the DAG hasn't completed 15 minutes + after it was scheduled to start, regardless of when (or if) it actually began executing. + Useful for ensuring scheduled DAGs complete before their next scheduled run. + +``DeadlineReference.FIXED_DATETIME`` + Specifies a fixed point in time. Useful when DAGs must complete by a specific time. + +Here's an example using a fixed datetime: + +.. code-block:: python + + tomorrow_at_ten = datetime.combine(datetime.now().date() + timedelta(days=1), time(10, 0)) + + with DAG( + dag_id="fixed_deadline_alert", + deadline=DeadlineAlert( + reference=DeadlineReference.FIXED_DATETIME(tomorrow_at_ten), + interval=timedelta(minutes=-30), # Alert 30 minutes before the deadline + callback=SmtpNotifier( + to="[email protected]", + subject="Report will be late", + html_content="The report will not be ready 30 minutes before the deadline.", + ), + ), + ): + EmptyOperator(task_id="example_task") + +The timeline for this example would look like this: + +:: + + |------|----------|---------|----------|--------| + Deadline Queued Start Reference + 08:00 09:15 09:17 10:00 + +Using Callbacks +--------------- + +When a deadline is exceeded, the callback is executed. You can use any async :doc:`Notifier </howto/notifications>` +or create a custom callback function. + +Using Built-in Notifiers +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Here's an example using the Slack notifier if the DagRun has not finished within 30 minutes of it being queued: + +.. code-block:: python + + with DAG( + dag_id="slack_deadline_alert", + deadline=DeadlineAlert( + reference=DeadlineReference.DAGRUN_QUEUED_AT, + interval=timedelta(minutes=15), Review Comment: Thanks so much for catching these. I went through a bunch of revisions and clearly missed some edits. A bit embarrassing.... -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
