How to get job metadata and run stats

[dagsir[bot]]

Is there a way to get job metadata like start time, duration or endtime?

The question was originally asked in Dagster Slack.

In a sensor or other places where the context arg is available, you can get run stats (timestamp, etc) from Dagster Instance by passing in a run_id:

@sensor(job=my_job)
def my_sensor(context):
    run_stats = instance.get_run_stats(my_run_id) # run_stats.start_time, run_stats.end_time, ...

If you'd also want to get these info outside a sensor, you can do:

from dagster import DagsterInstance

instance = DagsterInstance.get()
run_stats = instance.get_run_stats(my_run_id)
