Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook

By: Gláucia Esppenchutz

Overview of this book

Data Ingestion with Python Cookbook offers a practical approach to designing and implementing data ingestion pipelines. It presents real-world examples with the most widely recognized open source tools on the market to answer commonly asked questions and overcome challenges. You’ll be introduced to designing and working with or without data schemas, as well as creating monitored pipelines with Airflow and data observability principles, all while following industry best practices. The book also addresses challenges associated with reading different data sources and data formats. As you progress through the book, you’ll gain a broader understanding of error logging best practices, troubleshooting techniques, data orchestration, monitoring, and storing logs for further consultation. By the end of the book, you’ll have a fully automated set that enables you to start ingesting and monitoring your data pipeline effortlessly, facilitating seamless integration with subsequent stages of the ETL process.

Creating an observability dashboard

Now, with our tools up and running, we can finally jump into the visualization dashboards. Monitoring and observability dashboards are designed to help gain deep insights into the health and behavior of our systems. You will observe in this exercise how Grafana can help us create an observability dashboard and a number of features inside it.

In this recipe, we will create our first dashboard with a few panels to better monitor our Airflow application. You will notice that, with a few steps, it is possible to have an overview of how Airflow behaves over time and be prepared to build your future panels.

Getting ready

Refer to the Technical requirements section for this recipe since we will handle it with the same technology.

To accomplish this exercise, ensure that StatsD, Prometheus, and Grafana are adequately configured and running.

How to do it…

Let’s create our dashboard to keep track of Airflow:
