Hi, I want to execute some code when there are any failures. Specifically, I'm trying to log failure information to a table. What would be the best approach? Currently this is how I'm envisioning it.

until we do <https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/issues/2520> that is a reasonable approach

The `try... except` would be the way I do it

One thing to consider is if you want `solid_b` to run even if `solid_a` threw and caught an exception

You may want to re-raise the exception or use optional outputs to block `solid_b` from executing

You can also raise a `Failure` with some metadata that will be displayed in dagit/event log when you view the run: <https://docs.dagster.io/docs/learn/how-tos/conditional_execution#how-do-i-manage-error-handling-in-a-solid>
