I am confused by <https://docs.dagster.io/concepts/ops-jobs-graphs/op-events#expectation-results|ExpectationResult>. Does logging an ExpectionResult do anything other than add it to the logs? Is this just for manual human observation when looking at an individual run? I was expecting it to be more useful. Like making plots available of the results over time? Or failing an asset when an ExpectionResult is negative?

For context I am currently trying to use this within assets, not ops

I was hoping for a tool that could help us send alerts to our data analysts when data expectations are not yet. Ideally with two levels: warning (continue job, send alert) and error (stop job send alert)

Perhaps I should be using GreatExpectations instead, but the docs for using it within Dagster are op based, not asset based.

Hi Nathan. To my knowledge the current functionality of expectation results is just to display them in the logs. We are considering augmenting this functionality though for assets: <https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/discussions/9543>
