Creating Your First Pipeline
Follow these simple steps to set up your initial pipeline:
- Sign In: Log in to your DatErica account to access the dashboard.
- Navigate to Pipelines Page: Click on 'Pipelines' in the sidebar to view all your data workflows.
- Create Pipeline: Click on the 'Create Pipeline' button located at the top right of the Pipelines page. This will open the Pipeline Builder.
- Add Components: In the Pipeline Builder, use the 'Add Component' button to select the components you need for your data workflow. Drag and drop components into the workspace and connect them to define the flow.
-
Configure Components: Click on each component node to configure its settings. You'll need to specify the details required for each component's function, such as data sources, destinations, and any processing logic.
-
Set Alert Receivers: Define who should receive notifications in case of alerts. You can set up various receivers like email, Slack, or Telegram.
Configuring Alerts
Properly configured alerts are essential for monitoring the health of your data workflows.
You can set the alert level and receivers for each component during the setup process.
Here's how to customize alerts for your pipelines:
-
Alert Severity: Assign a severity level to potential alerts to indicate their importance. Choose from a range of severities, such as Low, Medium, High, or Critical. A 'Critical' alert signifies a high-priority issue that requires immediate attention.
-
Notification Receivers: Determine who should receive alerts by selecting from a list of predefined receivers. These could be specific individuals or groups, such as your development team on Slack or a dedicated Telegram channel.
-
Create Receiver: If the desired receiver is not listed, add a new one on the fly. Simply click 'Create Receiver' to define a new notification destination, ensuring that no alert goes unnoticed. The new receiver will be available for selection in the alert configuration and can be utilized by any component of your DatErica setup.
Monitoring and Managing Pipelines
Once you have your pipeline configured, you can monitor and manage it through the following:
- Dashboard: Use the Dashboard to get an overview of all pipeline activities and their current status.
- Runs Page: Track the execution history and analyze the performance of your pipelines over time.
- Alerts Page: Manage notifications and monitor the health of your pipelines. Review any generated alerts and respond accordingly.
- Pipeline Detail Page: Access detailed information and controls for individual pipelines by clicking on their name from the Pipelines list.
