Source freshness

When a Bolt schedule is configured to include the command dbt source freshness
for each run you can see the state of each of your sources included in the run.
This is to help you determine the status of your source data and whether it is in line with your SLAs.
To configure source freshness for your dbt™️ sources, add a freshness
block to your source and a loaded_at_field
.
In the freshness
block, you can use warn_after
and / or error_after
to define the severity.
The loaded_at_field
is required to calculate freshness for a table defined in your sources. If a loaded_at_field
is not provided, then dbt will not calculate freshness for the table.
