Set up automated profiling schedules to run data quality checks at regular intervals. Scheduling is optional and runs in GMT format.

By default, scheduling is off during profile creation. All schedules use GMT format.

Plan your schedule: How frequently you want a profile to run depends on your needs and the resources available to you. You can experiment with different settings to find an optimal schedule that meets your requirements.

Consider these factors as you decide:

  • The size of your data: If you have a large dataset, running a profile daily may consume a lot of resources. A weekly schedule might be more efficient.
  • The type of data: If you're monitoring critical data, you may want to run the profile more frequently to detect anomalies as early as possible.
  • The specific use case: You may want to run the profile on specific days or at specific times. For example, if you're monitoring sales data, you may want to schedule the profile to run on Monday morning to analyze the previous week's sales data.
  • The cost: Balance the benefits of more frequent monitoring with usage based pricing models popular with cloud infrastructure vendors. Increased frequency may also result in more alerts you need to review.
  • Go to Observability > Profilers.
  • To enable profile scheduler, select the Scheduler status for the profile.
    1. Click the Enable Schedule toggle to turn it on.
    2. Review the Occurrence settings.
    3. Click Close. You return to the Profilers page and the profile saves.
    4. Click Save & Run to save and run the profile immediately. It will continue running on your selected schedule.
  • To edit profiling scheduler:
    1. Click the ellipsis icon next to the profile you want to edit, then click Edit.
    2. On the Source section, click Next.
    3. On the Profile section, click Next.
    4. In the Finalize section, do one of the following:
      • Click the Enable Schedule toggle to turn it on (if off).
      • Edit the existing schedule.
      • Click the Enable Schedule toggle to turn it off (if on).
    5. Select the Occurrence settings.
    6. Click Save. The profile saves and runs on your selected schedule.
    7. Click Save & Run to save and run the profile immediately.
  • To disable profiling scheduler:
    1. In the Scheduler column, click the Enabled status for the profile you want to disable.
    2. Click the toggle button under Enable Schedule. The scheduler is now disabled.

Scheduler settings

Scheduler settings define when and how profiling runs. The profiler checks data for completeness, uniqueness, and frequency distribution based on your configured rules.
  • Daily: Run profiling every day at a specified time.
    • at: Time when profiling starts (hh:mm).
    • Example: Daily at 09:00 runs profiling every day at 9:00 AM.
  • Weekly: Run profiling on selected days each week.
    • On: Day(s) of the week when profiling runs.
    • at: Time when profiling starts (hh:mm).
    • Example: On Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 09:00 runs profiling on those days at 9:00 AM each week.
  • Monthly: Run profiling on a specific date or day pattern each month.
    • The day of every month at time: Profiling runs on the selected date each month.
      • Example: The 12th of every month at 11:00 AM runs profiling on the 12th at 11:00 AM each month.
    • The first or last day of every month at time: Profiling runs on the selected day pattern each month.
      • Example: The first Wednesday of every month at 11:00 AM runs profiling on that day at 11:00 AM each month.
Note: The scheduler uses 12-hour format and displays your system time by default.

View scheduler status and run history

Monitor the status of your profiling schedules and review past run information to track profiling performance and troubleshoot issues.

  1. Go to Observability > Profilers.
  2. Review the Scheduler column that displays the current status of each profile's schedule. Each status indicates a different state:

    • Enabled: The profile is scheduled and will run at the configured times. Click the profile to view its schedule and run history, or click Enabled and turn off the toggle to disable the schedule.

    • Disabled: The profile is not scheduled and will not run automatically. Click the profile to view its schedule and run history, or click Disabled and turn on the toggle to enable the schedule.

    • Suspended: The scheduler is stopped due to ten consecutive failures. To investigate the issue or enable the schedule, click the Suspended status.

    • Not Configured: The scheduler is not created and configured for the profile. To create a schedule, click Not Configured > Edit Scheduler .

    • Unavailable: The scheduler service is unavailable and cannot provide scheduled profile run history.

  3. In the Scheduler column, click the status corresponding to the profile whose run history you want to view.
    A panel opens displaying the scheduled run history with the following information:
    • Run: Shows the date and time when the profile was run.
    • Duration: Shows the time taken by the profile to run.
    • Status: Shows whether the profile run was successful or failed.
  4. Review the run history to monitor profiling performance and identify any failed runs that may require investigation.
You can now see the complete run history for the selected profile's schedule, including when it ran, how long it took, and whether each run succeeded or failed.
