Dagster+ + Memtro

Which Dagster runs failed overnight, and when did our assets last update?

Dagster+ orchestrates your data pipelines. Memtro reads runs by job, status and date with steps succeeded and failed, code locations and their jobs, schedules and sensors and whether they are on, assets with their last materialization, and backfills. When asked and granted, it can launch, re-execute, terminate or delete runs, start or stop schedules and sensors, reload a code location, cancel a backfill, and report an external asset materialization or check result. The token acts with its user's role in each deployment, and each deployment is its own connection.

In Memtro

What you can do with Dagster+ in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right Dagster+ tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01List runs by job, status or date, with the partition, backfill, schedule or sensor that started each.
  2. 02Open one run's steps succeeded and failed, its materializations and the assets it targeted.
  3. 03See code locations and jobs, schedules and sensors and whether each is running, assets with their last materialization, and backfills.
  4. 04When asked and granted, launch a run or re-execute one from failure. It runs pipeline code against your systems and spends compute.
  5. 05When asked and granted, terminate or delete a run, start or stop a schedule or sensor, reload a code location, or cancel a backfill.
  6. 06When asked and granted, report an external asset materialization or check result, which can trigger downstream sensors or fire alerts.

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in Dagster+. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Launch a run of a job
  2. 02Re-execute a run (from failure or all steps)
  3. 03Terminate a run

  6. 06Stop a schedule
  7. 07Start a sensor
  8. 08Stop a sensor
  9. 09Reload a code location

  11. 11Report an external asset materialization
  12. 12Report an external asset check result
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once Dagster+ is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

Dagster+ + Memtro
  • Which Dagster runs failed overnight?

  • When was the orders_daily asset last materialized?

  • Which schedules are stopped right now?

  • How far has the March backfill got?

  • Re-execute last night's failed ingest run from failure.

01

Overnight failures

Maya Okafor, a data engineer at Acme Ltd, asked which runs failed overnight. Memtro listed the failed runs with their job and the schedule that launched them, and opened each to show which steps failed.

02

Rerunning from failure

Tom Reilly, data platform lead at Northwind, asked Memtro to re-execute the failed ingest run once an upstream fix landed. Memtro started a new run from the failed steps, and the team saw it appear in Dagster+ beside the original.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on Dagster+ most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in Dagster+ is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Also in Engineering and operations

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withUser token and organization
  1. 1

    In Dagster+, open Organization Settings → Tokens and create a user token, ideally for a service user with only the role Memtro needs. Click Reveal token and copy it.

  2. 2

    In Memtro, open Connections → Dagster+ and paste the User token and the Organization, such as acme from acme.dagster.cloud.

  3. 3

    Set the Deployment, such as prod, and the Domain if your address uses dagster.plus. An administrator grants the run, schedule and sensor actions by name to the teams that may use them.

  4. 4

    Ask which Dagster runs failed overnight.

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The Dagster+ tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in Dagster+?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: launch a run of a job; re-execute a run (from failure or all steps); terminate a run; delete a run's record; start a schedule; stop a schedule; start a sensor; stop a sensor; reload a code location; cancel a backfill; report an external asset materialization; report an external asset check result. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a Dagster+ connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my Dagster+ data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded.

How do I connect Dagster+?+

User token and organization. In Dagster+, open Organization Settings → Tokens and create a user token, ideally for a service user with only the role Memtro needs. Click Reveal token and copy it.
