dagster sensor on asset start job

In Dagster, an asset sensor is a special kind of sensor that initiates a job run based on the materialization of a given asset. When an asset is materialized, the asset sensor can be configured to trigger a job that computes downstream assets or notifies appropriate stakeholders. Here is an example from the documentation of how to define an asset sensor that generates a

RunRequest

for every materialization of the asset key `my_table`:

python from dagster import (     AssetKey,     EventLogEntry,     RunConfig,     SensorEvaluationContext,     asset_sensor, )  @asset_sensor(asset_key=AssetKey("my_table"), job=my_job) def my_asset_sensor(context: SensorEvaluationContext, asset_event: EventLogEntry):     assert asset_event.dagster_event and asset_event.dagster_event.asset_key     yield RunRequest(         run_key=context.cursor,         run_config=RunConfig(             ops={                 "read_materialization": ReadMaterializationConfig(                     asset_key=list(asset_event.dagster_event.asset_key.path)                 )             }         ),     )

In this example,

my_job

is the job that you want to execute when the sensor fires. The

@asset_sensor

decorator is used to define the sensor, and it takes the

asset_key

of the asset to monitor and the

job

that should be executed when the sensor triggers. When the sensor detects a new materialization event for the specified asset key, it yields a

RunRequest

that includes a

run_key

and a

run_config

. The

run_config

can be used to pass specific configurations to the job when it runs. To use this sensor, you would define it in your Dagster repository alongside your assets and jobs. Once the sensor is defined and the Dagster instance is running, the sensor will monitor for materializations of the specified asset and trigger the associated job accordingly. Remember to replace

my_job

with the actual job you want to trigger and to configure the

run_config

as needed for your specific use case.
