DQOps YAML file definitions

The definition of YAML files used by DQOps to configure the data sources, monitored tables, and the configuration of activated data quality checks.

ProviderSensorYaml

Provider specific data quality sensor definition YAML schema for a data quality sensor configuration specification.

The structure of this object is described below

Property name	Description	Data type	Enum values	Default value
`api_version`	DQOps YAML schema version	string		dqo/v1
`kind`	File type	enum	source table sensor provider_sensor rule check settings file_index connection_similarity_index dashboards default_schedules default_checks default_table_checks default_column_checks default_notifications	provider_sensor
`spec`	Custom data quality data source specific sensor specification object with definition of a custom sensor for that type of the data source	ProviderSensorDefinitionSpec

Specification (configuration) for a provider specific implementation of a data quality sensor or an SQL template.

The structure of this object is described below

Property name	Description	Data type	Enum values
`type`	Sensor implementation type	enum	sql_template java_class
`java_class_name`	Java class name for a sensor runner that will execute the sensor. The "type" must be "java_class".	string
`supports_grouping`	The sensor supports grouping, using the GROUP BY clause in SQL. Sensors that support a GROUP BY condition can capture separate data quality scores for each data group. The default value is true, because most of the data quality sensor support grouping.	boolean
`supports_partitioned_checks`	The sensor supports grouping by a partition date, using the GROUP BY clause in SQL. Sensors that support grouping by a partition_by_column can be used for partition checks, calculating separate data quality metrics for each daily/monthly partition. The default value is true, because most of the data quality sensor support partitioned checks.	boolean
`parameters`	Additional provider specific sensor parameters	Dict[string, string]
`disable_merging_queries`	Disables merging this sensor's SQL with other sensors. When this parameter is 'true', the sensor's SQL will be executed as an independent query.	boolean
