Exercise 1: Course Introduction

In this module, we learn how to use the Jobs List page to filter for jobs that we want to monitor or investigate. We look at how the Job Graph, Job Info, and Job Metrics tabs collectively provide a comprehensive summary of your Dataflow job. Lastly, we learn how we can use Dataflow’s integration with Metrics Explorer to create alerting policies for Dataflow metrics.

Exercise 1: Job List Exercise 2: Job Info Exercise 3: Job Graph Exercise 4: Job Metrics Exercise 5: Metrics Explorer Exercise 6: Quiz Question 1 Exercise 7: Quiz Question 2 Exercise 8: Additional Resources

In this module, we learn how to use the Log panel at the bottom of both the Job Graph and Job Metrics pages, and learn about the centralized Error Reporting page.

Exercise 1: Logging Exercise 2: Error Reporting Exercise 3: Quiz Question 1 Exercise 4: Quiz Question 2 Exercise 5: Additional Resources

In this module, we learn how to troubleshoot and debug Dataflow pipelines. We will also review the four common modes of failure for Dataflow: failure to build the pipeline, failure to start the pipeline on Dataflow, failure during pipeline execution, and performance issues.
