Incident detail

mysql.default.subscriptions

Triggered at 26-04-2026 16:29

COMPLETE MEDIUM confidence

Root cause summary

The duplicate_subs test case on table mysql.default.subscriptions was aborted due to an upstream pipeline issue. Although the airflow.ingest_subs_daily pipeline shows a 'Successful' status for its last run on 2026-04-20T03:00:00Z, this timestamp is significantly older than the incident trigger time of 2026-04-26T10:59:14.187000+00:00, indicating a potential data freshness problem or a failure in a more recent, untracked pipeline run. All related DQ tests also aborted, suggesting a systemic issue rather than a data-specific one.
