• What’s the difference between sensor status Requested vs Started?
• We customized the run key when a sensor triggers a job. When we manually trigger a job run via backfill or launchpad, I think the run key still gets applied. I am wondering where the magic happens though?

03/17/2023, 4:36 AMThanks Yuhan. For sensor state What does it mean then if we got a bunch of historical sensor states stuck in “started”?

03/17/2023, 4:38 AMFor run_key, within our sensor we have this
Copy code
run_key = f"{self.job_name}:{active_date_str}:{upstream_hash}"
yield self._get_run_request(job, active_date_str, run_key)
