Hey all! Would anyone be able to point me to some documentation that describes the different modes sensors can have? I've scoured the dagster documentation with no luck, all I can see is that "default" mode is the default mode.

Hey Alex, sensors currently do not have modes. This is something we are looking into.

Hi Nick! Sure, I was investigating whether sensors have a manual trigger outside of

dagster sensor preview

. The proposed idea is to have the sensor to remove irrelevant data, and have the pipeline perform ETL operations with that relevant subset.

If it’s helpful here’s a slack thread that shows how to manually invoke the sensor eval loop: https://dagster.slack.com/archives/CCCR6P2UR/p1614115905088900?thread_ts=1614115311.086600&cid=CCCR6P2UR

This is very helpful indeed! I'll give it a shot when I have a moment and give you my feedback.

@Dagster Bot docs Document pipeline mode targeting when using sensors

Sensors should have the same mode settings as pipelines and dagit should let me choose the sensor mode just like I can with pipelines.
