2 00:30:29.730 00:30:30.570 Awaish Kumar: Nope.

3 00:30:33.200 00:30:34.400 Awaish Kumar: Do you agree with it?

4 00:30:37.850 00:30:38.860 Awaish Kumar: Lia?

5 00:31:16.300 00:31:21.350 Awaish Kumar: And there are… What?

6 00:31:35.140 00:31:37.480 Awaish Kumar: No more for you.

7 00:33:42.690 00:33:43.480 Awaish Kumar: Thanks.

8 00:34:13.219 00:34:14.620 Awaish Kumar: It is dominant.

9 00:34:14.860 00:34:16.990 Awaish Kumar: Reading Academy, and it’s very interesting.

10 00:34:17.270 00:34:18.000 Awaish Kumar: Nope.

11 00:35:45.740 00:35:47.870 Awaish Kumar: Not after I just moved in.

12 00:35:48.140 00:35:48.840 Awaish Kumar: Huh?

13 00:36:22.720 00:36:26.890 Awaish Kumar: It can be logical.

14 00:37:15.880 00:37:16.279 Awaish Kumar: Adam

15 00:37:19.660 00:37:20.330 Awaish Kumar: Have a look.

17 00:39:12.850 00:39:15.069 Awaish Kumar: Let’s go to the world.

18 00:39:30.330 00:39:32.510 Awaish Kumar: I have updated.

19 00:39:43.340 00:39:44.090 Awaish Kumar: Excellent.

20 00:40:54.690 00:40:55.510 Awaish Kumar: Happy birthday!

21 00:41:04.990 00:41:05.700 Awaish Kumar: I agree.

22 00:42:35.270 00:42:38.630 Awaish Kumar: You gotta do it?

23 00:53:54.810 00:53:55.490 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

24 00:56:40.460 00:56:41.519 Awaish Kumar: You know?

25 01:01:09.040 01:01:12.719 Awaish Kumar: But, thank you.

26 01:01:23.120 01:01:24.270 Awaish Kumar: Ain’t done it at all.

27 01:07:47.650 01:07:48.700 Uttam Kumaran: Hello, sir.

28 01:07:53.130 01:07:54.020 Awaish Kumar: Hello.

29 01:07:57.720 01:07:58.780 Uttam Kumaran: How’s everything?

30 01:07:59.330 01:07:59.910 Awaish Kumar: Oops.

31 01:08:03.180 01:08:04.260 Awaish Kumar: How about you?

32 01:08:05.600 01:08:06.490 Uttam Kumaran: Good.

33 01:08:09.970 01:08:13.680 Uttam Kumaran: Busy. I just had a good interview with another…

34 01:08:13.950 01:08:17.649 Uttam Kumaran: Kind of, like, data engineer, analytics engineer?

35 01:08:17.790 01:08:19.310 Uttam Kumaran: Kind of, like, our level.

36 01:08:19.609 01:08:26.489 Uttam Kumaran: So I may have you talk to him Tomorrow, maybe you and Demolade.

37 01:08:26.710 01:08:31.149 Uttam Kumaran: But… Yeah, things are good.

38 01:08:33.279 01:08:34.079 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

39 01:08:44.969 01:08:47.179 Awaish Kumar: to Paulo.

40 01:09:24.460 01:09:27.969 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, cool. So, yeah, walk me through what you’re thinking.

41 01:09:29.170 01:09:41.130 Awaish Kumar: So, basically, regarding… like, I will move… we will come to Metaplane with no staging, like, I…

42 01:09:41.279 01:09:49.489 Awaish Kumar: I think runs are… runtime is… Getting, like, like, shorter and shorter.

43 01:09:50.950 01:09:53.260 Awaish Kumar: For the trading runs, to…

44 01:09:53.689 01:09:59.470 Awaish Kumar: And some of it is because of, like, the… some of the old models are not incremental.

45 01:09:59.820 01:10:00.670 Awaish Kumar: So, I will…

46 01:10:00.670 01:10:01.330 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

47 01:10:01.330 01:10:05.930 Awaish Kumar: I have, like… Made some of them incremental, and

48 01:10:07.840 01:10:11.679 Awaish Kumar: also, like, have one schema now, and I also copied all…

49 01:10:12.140 01:10:15.749 Awaish Kumar: Tables for production to staging, and also dev analytics, so…

50 01:10:15.750 01:10:16.330 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

51 01:10:16.720 01:10:18.330 Awaish Kumar: The runs will be smoother.

52 01:10:19.260 01:10:20.100 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

53 01:10:20.100 01:10:31.830 Awaish Kumar: But I… I don’t know, like, if I should spend time on this. I had a question, which is, like, so I can see in the… in the documentation that I can… we can select, like,

54 01:10:32.050 01:10:35.320 Awaish Kumar: Different databases for staging and production.

55 01:10:35.880 01:10:38.899 Awaish Kumar: For the Redshift, LDT.

56 01:10:39.570 01:10:40.270 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

57 01:10:40.920 01:10:44.460 Awaish Kumar: But I don’t know if I can separate out the raw.

58 01:10:44.800 01:10:50.669 Awaish Kumar: I… I’m thinking about this because, like, we now… right now, we only have one database.

59 01:10:50.770 01:10:56.689 Awaish Kumar: Which is being accessed by quite a lot of people, and then a lot of applications.

60 01:10:56.800 01:10:57.800 Awaish Kumar: And that…

61 01:10:57.800 01:10:58.220 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

62 01:10:58.220 01:10:59.679 Awaish Kumar: It’s low as well.

63 01:11:01.210 01:11:02.510 Awaish Kumar: So, multiple people…

64 01:11:02.510 01:11:03.219 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, okay.

65 01:11:03.220 01:11:06.109 Awaish Kumar: Same input system, same server.

66 01:11:07.040 01:11:09.920 Awaish Kumar: Even in the same database, like,

67 01:11:10.070 01:11:16.469 Awaish Kumar: And then, like, all our PRs, our staging, dev, everything is going into the same database.

68 01:11:17.280 01:11:17.950 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

69 01:11:18.760 01:11:31.670 Awaish Kumar: So, one of the way, like, one of the things I’ve been thinking of is if I can somehow, like, I know, like, they have staging and production, their databases are possible, that’s…

70 01:11:32.250 01:11:32.859 Awaish Kumar: Not a problem.

71 01:11:32.860 01:11:33.440 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

72 01:11:33.440 01:11:39.610 Awaish Kumar: I don’t know if I can also create a raw, so that raw data lives at this one place.

73 01:11:39.930 01:11:40.910 Awaish Kumar: You know…

74 01:11:40.910 01:11:44.410 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, don’t we already have… Oh, everything’s going to analytics, you mean?

75 01:11:44.570 01:11:46.300 Awaish Kumar: Everything is going to analytics.

76 01:11:46.300 01:11:49.899 Uttam Kumaran: But I guess, like, how does that… how does that change any, like.

77 01:11:51.050 01:11:55.230 Awaish Kumar: I guess, tell me what that affects, because will that really affect the job?

78 01:11:55.260 01:11:56.240 Uttam Kumaran: Speed?

79 01:11:56.240 01:12:01.870 Awaish Kumar: affects this, like, the… obviously the database’s capability, like, the system has…

80 01:12:02.180 01:12:12.819 Awaish Kumar: maybe 4 CPUs, 8 cores, I think, like, 16 cores, maybe? So, like, it has its own limit… hardware limitations, right?

81 01:12:13.190 01:12:14.910 Awaish Kumar: And then…

82 01:12:14.910 01:12:15.700 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

83 01:12:16.250 01:12:22.960 Awaish Kumar: So multiple requests are coming, multiple connections are being created, maybe some of the connections left over.

84 01:12:23.080 01:12:27.820 Awaish Kumar: So they’ll create, kind of a…

85 01:12:28.850 01:12:31.729 Awaish Kumar: Load on the database, and it can make it slow.

86 01:12:32.440 01:12:33.170 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

87 01:12:33.470 01:12:36.190 Awaish Kumar: while executing queries. So yeah, that’s the…

88 01:12:37.540 01:12:40.120 Awaish Kumar: That’s why I haven’t been thinking about it. I’m…

89 01:12:40.350 01:12:44.010 Awaish Kumar: Not sure how significant an impact it will make, but…

90 01:12:44.740 01:12:48.970 Awaish Kumar: It can… it will improve some of the… Hmm.

91 01:12:50.260 01:12:52.040 Awaish Kumar: Like, execution times.

92 01:12:53.710 01:13:00.379 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so that’s one thing. I would say probably more of the priority right now is getting the…

93 01:13:01.760 01:13:05.880 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, getting alerts on the core… .

94 01:13:06.380 01:13:07.440 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, so…

95 01:13:08.190 01:13:09.090 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

96 01:13:09.090 01:13:17.160 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, for that, I also have, like… I’m seeing, since being on the upper stem, like, I see only… we are getting

97 01:13:17.410 01:13:26.199 Awaish Kumar: like, pings only for revenue and inventory dashboards, which are, like, kind of active departments.

98 01:13:26.710 01:13:30.689 Awaish Kumar: Or… these are, like, making you…

99 01:13:30.980 01:13:40.409 Awaish Kumar: trying… like, I’m more, like, concerned about these… these two things. I’ve added a lot of, like, monitors already on the revenue.

100 01:13:40.650 01:13:45.529 Uttam Kumaran: We have the inventory. Like, we did do have someone in inventory as well.

101 01:13:45.530 01:13:51.700 Awaish Kumar: But I can recheck, like, if we are not missing any of the inventory tables. And the news is that…

102 01:13:51.980 01:13:57.049 Awaish Kumar: the… the issues they shared, like, MetaBlit did capture it.

103 01:13:57.330 01:14:00.820 Awaish Kumar: So, like, if I can click on the… go on these links.

104 01:14:01.140 01:14:09.090 Awaish Kumar: So, like, it shows, like, fact orders, basically, is inflated by… since yesterday. But the only problem was that

105 01:14:09.230 01:14:17.289 Awaish Kumar: Because I try to, reduce the sensitivity, sensitivity, so that it doesn’t spam us.

106 01:14:17.630 01:14:19.259 Awaish Kumar: It didn’t notify us in Slack.

107 01:14:19.950 01:14:21.840 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. Okay, okay.

108 01:14:23.720 01:14:24.650 Uttam Kumaran: Alright.

109 01:14:24.880 01:14:27.749 Uttam Kumaran: So, I guess my point is, like.

110 01:14:27.920 01:14:32.020 Uttam Kumaran: I want to move into an environment where like…

111 01:14:32.670 01:14:38.660 Uttam Kumaran: We are getting alerted each time, like, and each alert

112 01:14:39.250 01:14:47.060 Uttam Kumaran: Basically, someone says, I’m gonna investigate, and then someone says, this is an issue, I need to alert the client.

113 01:14:48.430 01:14:55.050 Uttam Kumaran: So, part of this is process, and part of this is establishing with our whole team that

114 01:14:55.170 01:15:04.580 Uttam Kumaran: These alerts channels exist, and if someone is on call, Right? So… the on-call, I guess.

115 01:15:07.620 01:15:15.160 Uttam Kumaran: you can tell me what you think. Like, maybe for… at least for Eden, Urban Stems, we need someone on call each week.

116 01:15:15.610 01:15:18.880 Uttam Kumaran: That kind of, like, rotates. Their job is to go

117 01:15:19.980 01:15:23.409 Uttam Kumaran: Anytime that an alert comes, their job’s a triage.

118 01:15:23.540 01:15:26.360 Uttam Kumaran: Their job is not to fix it, necessarily.

119 01:15:26.530 01:15:27.690 Uttam Kumaran: triage?

120 01:15:28.730 01:15:37.149 Uttam Kumaran: clearly explain what the issue is, what the recommended fix is, and then what’s… if… do we need to communicate to the client? Then.

121 01:15:37.470 01:15:39.620 Uttam Kumaran: Anybody on the team can execute the work.

122 01:15:39.740 01:15:47.979 Uttam Kumaran: Right? So, I guess the first part of that is just… is making… me being able to say, anytime there is an alert.

123 01:15:48.560 01:15:50.950 Uttam Kumaran: A ticket is gonna get created for triage.

124 01:15:51.770 01:15:54.850 Uttam Kumaran: And then, who is it assigned to? Who’s on call?

125 01:15:55.670 01:16:02.669 Uttam Kumaran: So do we… I guess, do we feel like all the alerts going into Urban STEM’s channel and for Eden are valid at this point?

126 01:16:05.400 01:16:07.560 Awaish Kumar: Yes.

127 01:16:07.850 01:16:11.859 Uttam Kumaran: The alternative is we… As a client group.

128 01:16:12.120 01:16:15.870 Uttam Kumaran: We take a look at it during stand-up once a week, you know?

129 01:16:16.260 01:16:31.630 Awaish Kumar: No, like, we… we have to, like, compromise on… on… on a thing, like… like, we will start spending time on it, and I can say, like, 5% of our time can go on false positives. That’s, like…

130 01:16:31.630 01:16:32.150 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

131 01:16:32.790 01:16:39.990 Awaish Kumar: We have to… make it, because, like, for example, I have a, like, row count monitor.

132 01:16:40.090 01:16:49.020 Awaish Kumar: Sometimes it is a real outlier. Sometimes the number of rows just in inventory increased

133 01:16:50.100 01:16:57.400 Awaish Kumar: which was not in the Python, that model can realize, but… it basically…

134 01:16:58.820 01:17:04.540 Awaish Kumar: is a real inventory, so, like, things like that. So it’s a real notification, but it’s still,

135 01:17:05.350 01:17:08.010 Awaish Kumar: No, no, like, action on that.

136 01:17:08.470 01:17:09.150 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

137 01:17:10.080 01:17:10.880 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

138 01:17:12.460 01:17:18.669 Uttam Kumaran: So, I guess, like, I guess, can you pull up, like, can we pull up both of those channels, and…

139 01:17:18.940 01:17:19.760 Uttam Kumaran: like…

140 01:17:20.500 01:17:20.850 Awaish Kumar: Does that…

141 01:17:20.850 01:17:25.560 Uttam Kumaran: I would just like to… like, let’s pull up the external… let’s pull up Urban Stems Alerts.

142 01:17:27.880 01:17:31.820 Uttam Kumaran: So today, for example, there’s this Metaplane daily update.

143 01:17:32.750 01:17:34.289 Uttam Kumaran: Can we get rid of that?

144 01:17:34.880 01:17:39.290 Uttam Kumaran: And similarly, look, there’s a job issue, and there’s a duration issue.

145 01:17:39.490 01:17:47.809 Uttam Kumaran: these… I guess today, looks like there’s 4 messages in here, or 3 messages in here, so I guess, like, that would be my question, is, like, what…

146 01:17:48.240 01:17:56.050 Awaish Kumar: So, like, I don’t know who, but somebody created these… dbt job run monitors.

147 01:17:57.670 01:18:03.670 Awaish Kumar: It’s monitoring the execution time of our… production jobs on DBT.

148 01:18:04.410 01:18:05.070 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

149 01:18:06.040 01:18:09.419 Awaish Kumar: So, the duration monitors are those, and the…

150 01:18:10.810 01:18:13.839 Uttam Kumaran: So the duration monitor, but see, like, let’s look at this one.

151 01:18:14.640 01:18:18.519 Uttam Kumaran: This one is… Expected is 2 minutes.

152 01:18:18.790 01:18:20.839 Uttam Kumaran: And the actual 7 minutes.

153 01:18:21.620 01:18:22.080 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.

154 01:18:22.080 01:18:24.470 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t care about anything that’s running

155 01:18:25.100 01:18:27.590 Uttam Kumaran: Less than 30 minutes, at this point.

156 01:18:28.460 01:18:33.960 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah, that, that adjustment I can make, right? We… We can have…

157 01:18:37.410 01:18:47.669 Awaish Kumar: like, for each of these jobs, I can basically add… manually add, like, what are the valid values, the ranges. Okay.

158 01:18:48.030 01:18:50.809 Awaish Kumar: So that is… that is an easy fix.

159 01:18:51.190 01:18:55.370 Awaish Kumar: for Redshift, like… We have these monitors.

160 01:18:59.430 01:19:00.390 Awaish Kumar: So…

161 01:19:00.560 01:19:09.990 Awaish Kumar: So, like, basically, we got today notification for two things, and we both cap… both of these are captured, like, one on the fact order, revenue seems…

162 01:19:12.590 01:19:14.560 Awaish Kumar: Like, the inflator?

163 01:19:14.690 01:19:22.289 Awaish Kumar: Secondly, on inventory, mod table, row count is also inflated here.

164 01:19:23.410 01:19:24.090 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

165 01:19:24.350 01:19:31.470 Awaish Kumar: Have… But, like, I don’t know why I’m not getting notifications, although it is connected with Slack.

166 01:19:35.450 01:19:37.909 Uttam Kumaran: Well, this… because this incident happened on 8-11.

167 01:19:38.960 01:19:41.780 Uttam Kumaran: So… oh, it’s today. Okay.

168 01:19:43.710 01:19:44.340 Awaish Kumar: Hell yeah.

169 01:19:44.340 01:19:45.040 Uttam Kumaran: Well…

170 01:19:45.740 01:19:51.810 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, I see. Okay, so would you say this is a va… but see, would you say this is valid? Because…

171 01:19:53.710 01:19:55.229 Uttam Kumaran: I don’t know, it seems like…

172 01:19:56.970 01:19:59.190 Uttam Kumaran: Well, it seems like something here happened, right?

173 01:20:02.450 01:20:03.160 Awaish Kumar: Yeah.

174 01:20:18.340 01:20:22.690 Awaish Kumar: Maybe… maybe it’s not in the… Who they are talking about.

175 01:20:28.460 01:20:31.200 Awaish Kumar: But, like, this seems valid here.

176 01:20:36.400 01:20:37.910 Awaish Kumar: If we look, look at this.

177 01:20:38.010 01:20:39.600 Awaish Kumar: some monitor?

178 01:20:40.150 01:20:41.000 Awaish Kumar: for revenue.

179 01:20:41.000 01:20:41.590 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

180 01:20:45.090 01:20:47.279 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, that’s a clear issue, right?

181 01:20:47.750 01:20:48.380 Awaish Kumar: Yep.

182 01:21:14.820 01:21:21.200 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so I guess today… so can we note down all of the currently active issues, and we can investigate?

183 01:21:22.630 01:21:23.610 Awaish Kumar: Okay, yeah.

184 01:21:25.030 01:21:30.780 Uttam Kumaran: Right? So, I’m gonna say active investigations.

185 01:21:33.090 01:21:35.790 Uttam Kumaran: So yeah, or let’s just put it in Notion.

186 01:21:36.150 01:21:39.879 Uttam Kumaran: So I just want to note down what all the active investigations are.

187 01:21:40.170 01:21:44.699 Uttam Kumaran: and sort of, like, what our takeaways are. And so the other thing is, like.

188 01:21:45.210 01:21:50.259 Uttam Kumaran: Can we… oh, so we want to keep this daily… okay, whatever, we can keep the daily update, that’s fine.

189 01:21:51.160 01:21:57.950 Uttam Kumaran: So, let’s say an active investigation, so the first one,

190 01:21:58.610 01:22:03.080 Uttam Kumaran: The first one we have is… yeah, if you just want to list them out, I can take a note.

191 01:22:04.510 01:22:06.400 Awaish Kumar: Like, let me…

192 01:22:07.410 01:22:08.919 Uttam Kumaran: the fact orders…

194 01:22:11.240 01:22:14.150 Uttam Kumaran: So, I guess my other thing, if you go to… if you go to Overview.

195 01:22:16.040 01:22:17.320 Uttam Kumaran: If you go to Overview?

196 01:22:22.510 01:22:26.750 Uttam Kumaran: like… Click on Analytics.

197 01:22:33.410 01:22:37.190 Uttam Kumaran: I guess my question is, if you scroll down… Here.

198 01:22:37.840 01:22:41.359 Uttam Kumaran: Are… do all of these tables need monitors on them?

199 01:22:41.780 01:22:46.510 Awaish Kumar: So… I only have them on the…

200 01:22:46.650 01:22:50.939 Awaish Kumar: ones which has downstream importance. Not all of them.

201 01:22:51.210 01:22:51.830 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

202 01:22:52.250 01:22:53.290 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, okay.

203 01:22:56.090 01:23:02.539 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so for rev… so for fact orders, there is an accrued… Revenue metric increase.

204 01:23:03.680 01:23:05.370 Uttam Kumaran: What other ones do we have?

205 01:23:07.190 01:23:15.870 Awaish Kumar: Like, on effect orders, we have, adjustment space table, Suborders with lots.

206 01:23:19.830 01:23:24.529 Awaish Kumar: And we’re in marked inventory adjustment and marked inventory lot hourly changes.

207 01:23:24.830 01:23:31.699 Awaish Kumar: So, basically… Both on the inventory lot and the revenue tables.

208 01:23:35.160 01:23:37.899 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, one second, let me write that down.

209 01:23:38.910 01:23:42.480 Uttam Kumaran: So… Inventory lot.

210 01:23:44.750 01:23:46.230 Uttam Kumaran: Or what’s the table name?

211 01:23:46.410 01:23:49.390 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, mart inventory law changes, Mart?

212 01:23:52.010 01:23:53.530 Uttam Kumaran: Oh, all of those.

213 01:23:53.700 01:23:56.120 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, yeah, if you want to just paste those in.

214 01:24:00.400 01:24:00.940 Awaish Kumar: Wait.

215 01:24:02.240 01:24:02.840 Awaish Kumar: So.

216 01:24:22.040 01:24:26.230 Awaish Kumar: Let me change it to the… Numbered list.

217 01:25:24.440 01:25:26.780 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so I’m gonna put,

218 01:25:47.860 01:25:59.520 Uttam Kumaran: I’m gonna put manual for the dbt jobs, and I’m gonna put… At or above… 45 minutes.

219 01:26:00.380 01:26:01.200 Uttam Kumaran: For now.

220 01:26:02.110 01:26:03.400 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s start there.

221 01:26:04.650 01:26:07.440 Awaish Kumar: Are you writing somewhere or anything?

222 01:26:08.160 01:26:10.759 Uttam Kumaran: Well, I just changed it in Metaplane.

223 01:26:11.130 01:26:11.800 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

224 01:26:12.590 01:26:13.949 Awaish Kumar: The duration.

225 01:26:14.480 01:26:15.090 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

226 01:26:15.370 01:26:15.950 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

227 01:26:16.710 01:26:30.620 Uttam Kumaran: So, I’m gonna say… Updates here. One adjusted… Job duration, Monitor… To… greater than…

228 01:26:31.300 01:26:33.130 Awaish Kumar: Greater than 45 minutes.

229 01:26:34.000 01:26:34.830 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

230 01:26:35.720 01:26:41.890 Awaish Kumar: So far, which one, like… this is the one that maybe needs… to be under…

231 01:26:42.850 01:26:44.330 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, the items in my…

232 01:26:44.330 01:26:47.139 Uttam Kumaran: But see, I already… but this should be already covered.

233 01:26:49.320 01:26:49.870 Awaish Kumar: Weird.

234 01:26:49.870 01:26:51.169 Uttam Kumaran: I just changed it.

235 01:26:55.140 01:27:00.479 Uttam Kumaran: So, that’s why for this one, I’m gonna… I’m gonna mark this incident

236 01:27:16.260 01:27:17.190 Uttam Kumaran: like…

237 01:27:18.360 01:27:21.499 Awaish Kumar: Like, you change for all of them somewhere, or…

238 01:27:22.210 01:27:24.850 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, I just… I went to the, oh, wait.

239 01:27:25.110 01:27:27.700 Awaish Kumar: I can’t see the ginger.

240 01:27:27.700 01:27:28.670 Uttam Kumaran: go to Rules.

241 01:27:34.520 01:27:35.190 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

242 01:27:35.830 01:27:37.090 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, click on that.

243 01:27:39.230 01:27:40.780 Uttam Kumaran: And then go to monitors.

244 01:27:42.930 01:27:44.860 Uttam Kumaran: Or go to Overview and go to Edit.

245 01:27:44.980 01:27:45.960 Uttam Kumaran: On the bottom.

246 01:27:53.420 01:27:54.780 Uttam Kumaran: And then click on this.

247 01:27:59.360 01:28:00.020 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

248 01:28:02.800 01:28:06.340 Awaish Kumar: Okay, so you’ve added a rule for all the dbt jobs.

249 01:28:06.970 01:28:07.690 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

250 01:28:10.720 01:28:11.420 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

251 01:28:13.420 01:28:17.730 Awaish Kumar: But then, is this valid for all, like…

252 01:28:18.880 01:28:22.140 Awaish Kumar: Some of the monitors are, like, running for…

253 01:28:23.970 01:28:26.939 Awaish Kumar: More than 30 minutes, and it says a valid time.

254 01:28:28.090 01:28:34.070 Uttam Kumaran: So, but that’s, I guess, my point, is that we should be dec… all of them should get pushed down.

255 01:28:34.290 01:28:37.240 Uttam Kumaran: To… at least 45, you know?

256 01:28:54.560 01:28:57.869 Uttam Kumaran: So then, yeah, looks like there is a job failure this morning.

257 01:28:58.480 01:29:03.039 Uttam Kumaran: So this one is worth investigating, right? Or this is like, oh, it went to 11 minutes.

258 01:29:03.140 01:29:08.240 Uttam Kumaran: But see, this is not valid, because this… the whole monitor is, like, not accurate.

259 01:29:08.620 01:29:15.090 Uttam Kumaran: Like, I don’t care whether this runs for 5 minutes or 15 minutes, doesn’t matter to me. So, I’m gonna mark as normal.

260 01:29:15.670 01:29:17.820 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, but, like…

261 01:29:18.680 01:29:24.039 Awaish Kumar: I’m… I’m thinking they’re just these values per job, like, we don’t have a lot of them.

262 01:29:25.770 01:29:30.679 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, but I guess this is where, like, I don’t want… I just don’t care at the moment. It’s not a priority.

263 01:29:30.990 01:29:31.810 Uttam Kumaran: Right?

264 01:29:32.710 01:29:37.200 Uttam Kumaran: As long as things aren’t taking more than 45 minutes, we don’t have much to worry about.

265 01:29:37.200 01:29:43.199 Awaish Kumar: It’s okay, but for some of them which are taking more than 45 minutes,

266 01:29:43.630 01:29:45.839 Awaish Kumar: Should we get notified? Like, is that a priority?

267 01:29:45.840 01:29:49.120 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, we should, I mean, we should, we should attack it, right?

268 01:29:49.460 01:29:56.709 Uttam Kumaran: Okay. That should be our next task, yeah. We can decrease those. So I want to start by saying 45, next one we’ll do 30.

269 01:29:57.030 01:29:57.770 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

270 01:29:58.860 01:29:59.749 Uttam Kumaran: See what I mean?

271 01:30:01.150 01:30:01.790 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

272 01:30:03.030 01:30:06.669 Awaish Kumar: And I also looked at the Looker monitors, and…

273 01:30:06.780 01:30:10.030 Awaish Kumar: There’s no way we can add monitors, like, on…

274 01:30:10.140 01:30:14.070 Awaish Kumar: If it is updated or not, or fresh, like, freshness test.

275 01:30:14.960 01:30:19.980 Awaish Kumar: It’s just like… we can only track the views of the dashboard on a view.

276 01:30:21.480 01:30:23.040 Awaish Kumar: For the local monitors.

277 01:30:23.610 01:30:24.280 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

278 01:31:11.630 01:31:16.120 Uttam Kumaran: Okay, so those are all things I think we can talk about today.

279 01:31:17.600 01:31:22.639 Uttam Kumaran: And so, I guess I’m okay with that, but how do you feel about Eden? Like.

280 01:31:22.890 01:31:25.479 Uttam Kumaran: Wondering if we can get a similar setup there.

281 01:31:28.850 01:31:33.440 Awaish Kumar: like, for Edin, oh, actually, I…

282 01:31:33.600 01:31:37.369 Awaish Kumar: did some work on Metaplane, and that is, like.

283 01:31:38.670 01:31:41.719 Awaish Kumar: That is working, but the only thing is that…

284 01:31:41.910 01:31:44.760 Awaish Kumar: After we made quite a lot of

285 01:31:45.080 01:31:48.319 Awaish Kumar: We added a couple of new models and things, and…

286 01:31:48.480 01:31:52.140 Awaish Kumar: And we didn’t maintain Metaplane up to that level.

287 01:31:52.290 01:31:54.759 Awaish Kumar: So I can add more.

288 01:31:55.280 01:31:55.910 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

289 01:31:56.380 01:32:03.740 Awaish Kumar: Like, monitors, but, yeah, we just need a process of driving, like, we sometimes get notifications, and…

290 01:32:04.870 01:32:07.990 Awaish Kumar: And getting involved. We need process for that.

291 01:32:09.250 01:32:10.020 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

292 01:32:10.460 01:32:15.150 Uttam Kumaran: Alright, so for both of those, we need… process.

293 01:32:15.810 01:32:21.020 Uttam Kumaran: Are we… do we feel like… I mean, is this something you think you can own? Like, what do you think?

294 01:32:23.400 01:32:27.420 Uttam Kumaran: Because I guess I don’t need you to own solving the problems.

295 01:32:27.870 01:32:34.130 Uttam Kumaran: But I do need you to own… like, error… Reliability.

296 01:32:37.900 01:32:39.240 Uttam Kumaran: Look, what do you think?

297 01:32:42.510 01:32:45.859 Awaish Kumar: Like, adjusting the monitors and things like that.

298 01:32:46.250 01:32:49.290 Uttam Kumaran: more teaching people how to do the monitors, right? But…

299 01:32:49.640 01:32:53.950 Uttam Kumaran: I want to start with these two clients, then I want to make this available for more clients.

300 01:32:54.120 01:32:57.109 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I can own that, and I’ll, like…

301 01:32:57.240 01:33:02.129 Awaish Kumar: like, I’m more… like, what about, like, on-call thing?

302 01:33:03.390 01:33:08.580 Uttam Kumaran: On call, we’ll decide tomorrow morning, so I’ll… I’ll nominate someone on each client team to be on call.

303 01:33:08.720 01:33:09.520 Uttam Kumaran: you know.

304 01:33:10.420 01:33:11.260 Awaish Kumar: Okay.

305 01:33:12.890 01:33:16.409 Uttam Kumaran: So for urban stems, it’ll rotate between me, you, and Debilade.

306 01:33:17.390 01:33:21.190 Uttam Kumaran: on Eden, it’ll rotate as well.

307 01:33:24.120 01:33:25.989 Awaish Kumar: But, okay.

308 01:33:32.810 01:33:33.630 Uttam Kumaran: What do you think?

309 01:33:34.320 01:33:38.149 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, like, I’m okay with the idea, I’m just concerned, like.

310 01:33:38.260 01:33:44.940 Awaish Kumar: sometimes, like, majority of time, I get… messages when, like, I’m already…

311 01:33:45.210 01:33:49.240 Awaish Kumar: allowed off, like, around maybe 2, 3 AM, 11.

312 01:33:49.240 01:33:49.760 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

313 01:33:49.760 01:33:55.810 Awaish Kumar: Computer, and then… Next morning, I open the computer, and there’s a lot of… Messages?

314 01:33:56.890 01:33:58.630 Awaish Kumar: Fire, like…

315 01:33:59.670 01:34:03.940 Uttam Kumaran: But I guess my point would be, you’re not gonna be on call, Every week.

316 01:34:04.630 01:34:05.480 Uttam Kumaran: Right.

317 01:34:05.740 01:34:06.819 Uttam Kumaran: So I guess…

318 01:34:08.430 01:34:12.709 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, but yeah, but that’s what I’m saying, like, even, like…

319 01:34:12.830 01:34:15.849 Awaish Kumar: Or, like, all the week, if I’m on the…

320 01:34:16.540 01:34:21.460 Awaish Kumar: On, on call, like, after 2 or 3… Yeah, I’m, like, I’m.

321 01:34:21.460 01:34:23.070 Uttam Kumaran: Or you think we should do two people?

322 01:34:25.240 01:34:28.250 Awaish Kumar: I’m saying 2AM here, it’s, like, almost 4…

323 01:34:28.850 01:34:29.440 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah.

324 01:34:29.440 01:34:36.770 Awaish Kumar: Eastern time, so it almost the day end, but after that, normally I’m not… Like, focused on…

325 01:34:37.550 01:34:38.400 Uttam Kumaran: Yeah, yeah.

326 01:34:46.700 01:34:47.540 Uttam Kumaran: Okay.

327 01:34:48.020 01:34:48.800 Awaish Kumar: Like, we could…

328 01:34:48.800 01:34:54.519 Uttam Kumaran: Let’s… Let’s talk about it tomorrow with everybody. I don’t know what to do. Yeah, it’s tough.

329 01:34:55.760 01:34:59.110 Awaish Kumar: No, but, like, Raquel said, like, maybe…

330 01:34:59.350 01:35:02.379 Awaish Kumar: Every day, like, the person who’s on call.

331 01:35:02.610 01:35:05.119 Awaish Kumar: Like, the first half, like, until…

332 01:35:05.410 01:35:08.859 Awaish Kumar: Maybe 2, 3 p.m. Eastern.
