Airflow alerts

Mayank Saggar [Microsoft] requested to merge airflow-alerts into master

Infrastructure Submissions:


  • [YES] Have you added an explanation of what your changes do and why you'd like us to include them?
  • [NO] I have updated the documentation accordingly.
  • [YES] I have added tests to cover my changes.
  • [YES/NO/NA] All new and existing tests passed.
  • [YES] I have formatted the terraform code. (terraform fmt -recursive && go fmt ./...)

Current Behavior or Linked Issues


Currently when there is issue with airflow infra or service, we get to know about it from logs or when one is using the airflow service. There are no monitoring alerts for airflow and hence we have a delayed response to infra or service issues. The Alerts added will be solution in that direction.

Does this introduce a breaking change?


  • [NO]
