Airflow DagRuns

This page provides drill-down visibility into DAG execution history.

Pulse enables full-stack observability for Airflow on Kubernetes by combining:

  • DAG-level monitoring
  • Task-level drilldowns
  • Scheduler and executor health tracking
  • Resource utilization visibility
  • Performance trend analysis
  • Operator-level metrics

This allows faster root cause analysis, improved SLA tracking, and proactive workload optimization.
