How can I create a sensor that is turned on by default

To create a sensor that is turned on by default, you can use the

default_status

parameter when defining your sensor with the

@sensor

decorator. Set this parameter to

DefaultSensorStatus.RUNNING

to have the sensor start in a running state as soon as it is loaded into your workspace. Here is an example from the documentation:

python from dagster import sensor, DefaultSensorStatus  @sensor(job=my_job, default_status=DefaultSensorStatus.RUNNING) def my_running_sensor():     ...

In this example,

my_job

is the job that the sensor is associated with, and the sensor

my_running_sensor

will be started by default when it is added to your Dagster instance. If you manually start or stop a sensor in the UI, that action will override any default status set in the code.
