dbt Failures As Monte Carlo Alerts

Monte Carlo allows you to surface dbt failures, warnings and errors as Monte Carlo alerts. Among other things, this will enable you to:

• Route and receive notifications similar to other Monte Carlo alerts
• Analyze the downstream impact of those alerts
• Create wholistic alert reporting and tooling for all data issues

To enable this feature, follow the instructions below:

1. Go to Settings Page and Click on "Integrations": https://getmontecarlo.com/settings/integrations
2. Locate your dbt project under the “ETL Tool Connections” section, and "Edit"
3. Configure the options available

After enabling the feature, Monte Carlo will route notifications and display dbt failures, warnings, and errors similarly to other Monte Carlo alerts for all tables that are enabled for monitoring or not muted in Monte Carlo.

📘

dbt Alerts will only be raised on monitored tables

dbt Failures will only be raised as Alerts for tables that are enabled for monitoring or not muted. If a dbt Job is associated with more than one table, at least one table must be enabled for monitoring or not muted for an Alert to be raised.

Learn more about enabling tables for monitoring under our Usage UI or refer to Muting.

You can configure specific audiences to receive dbt errors in the Audience settings: https://getmontecarlo.com/settings/notifications
