Is it possible for Sensors to be configurable? It would be cool if something like the tick interval could consume Run Config, but in my head Sensors seem like a construct that’s statically configured outside of runtime
c
Do you mean for use within the sensor user code? Or configuring the operation of the sensor itself?
a
I think the latter. Here’s a more detailed view into our use case: • We have a sensor that runs every 10 minutes and submits a
RunRequest
. Think of this as a long-running backfill • We want to temporarily update the tick interval to run every 5 minutes and do so within Launchpad without having to PR

ah I see - yea no way to do that latter step yet. Seems like an interesting direction forward though, I don’t think that would live in the launchpad but instead maybe on the sensor’s page (similar to how we allow you to set the cursor value)
a
Oh yeah no worries! Yeah I think that would be cool if we could modify it in that page, similar to the new pages in 1.3. Thanks for looking into it!

blob salute will file a feature request around it, at the very least
