Workflows

external-asset-event-pipeline
Report observation, materialization, and check events for one external asset key.
Reports an observation, then a materialization, then an asset check for the same asset key, sharing the data version across the events and branching on whether the check passed.
3 steps inputs: apiToken, assetKey, checkName, dataVersion, metadata, partition, passed, severity outputs: checkResult, materializationResult, observationResult
1
reportObservation
Record an observation of the external asset, capturing the data version and metadata about the source before it is materialized.
2
reportMaterialization
Record the materialization of the asset, reusing the data version from the observation so the events are correlated in Dagster.
3
reportCheck
Record the asset check evaluation against the freshly materialized asset, carrying severity through when the check did not pass.

  title: Dagster External Asset Event Pipeline
  summary: Observe, materialize, and check an external asset in a single correlated event pipeline.
  description: >-
    Chains all three Dagster External Assets reporting events for one asset key
    into a single pipeline. The workflow first reports an observation of the
    source, then reports the materialization of the asset once the data has been
    produced, and finally records an asset check evaluation against the freshly
    materialized asset. A shared data version threads through all three events so
    Dagster can correlate them, and the flow branches on the final check outcome
    so a failing check carries its severity through. Because the Dagster External
    Assets REST API exposes only event-reporting endpoints, there is no read-back
    or status-polling step; every step inlines its request so the pipeline can be
    executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
