# Monte Carlo Commands

## Overview

Paradime Bolt integrates with by Montecarlo feeding the [manifest file](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/artifacts/manifest-json), [run results file](https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/artifacts/run-results-json), and optionally, a file containing the logs generated by dbt™ during command execution. This will make dbt™ metadata available within the Monte Carlo dashboard.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Prerequisites**

* Configure the [**Monte Carlo integration.**](/app-help/documentation/integrations/observability/monte-carlo.md)
* Whenever a dbt command is executed, files in the `target` directory will be overwritten. So you will need to run the MC CLI command after each dbt command.

**Note**

If you want to enable Paradime to automatically send all dbt™ artifacts for all runs, you can choose to set the variable[`RUN_MONTECARLO_UPLOAD`](/app-help/documentation/integrations/observability/monte-carlo.md#step-6-enable-the-integration) to `TRUE`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/products/bolt/creating-schedules/command-settings/monte-carlo-commands.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
