Description

View

Asset View

Filters to Add

  • Filter by Event Timestamp (Range)
    ↪ Focus on recent or historical asset events within a specific window

  • Filter by DAG ID
    ↪ Isolate events triggered by a specific DAG

  • Filter by Task ID
    ↪ Track asset events back to the producing task

  • Filter by Event Type (e.g., manual, scheduler-created, via asset watcher)
    ↪ Differentiate programmatic updates from ad-hoc, scheduler created or asset events created via asset watchers

API Support

⚠️ Partial

  • The asset_events API includes all fields, but filtering is not fully implemented or exposed in the UI
  • Some filters (e.g., timestamp range) may need to be implemented on the backend or via query parameters

UI Impact

  • Add a filter bar or collapsible panel above the event list
  • Improves readability and analysis of high-volume asset event streams

Notes

  • Especially useful in asset-triggered DAGs and debugging incorrect lineage or asset duplication

Research direction
Examine the current asset events API endpoint to understand how existing fields are exposed. Look at the UI code for Asset View (likely in airflow/ui/src/views/Assets) to see where to add filter components. Consider implementing timestamp range filtering on the backend via query parameters if not already supported. Check for existing filter implementations in other views (e.g., DAGs view) for patterns to reuse.
