Getting Started with SEER

A pipeline in SEER monitors your scripts and data processes. Here's how to create one:

Step 1: Create a Pipeline

1. Navigate to your dashboard and click "Create Pipeline"
2. Give your pipeline a descriptive name (e.g., "Daily Sales Report")
3. Add a description explaining what this pipeline monitors
4. Set the expected run frequency (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.)

Step 2: Configure Your Script

Your script needs to send status updates to SEER:

# Python example
import requests

# At the start of your script
requests.post('https://your-domain.com/api/pipelines/{pipeline_id}/notify', {
    'status': 'running',
    'message': 'Script started successfully'
})

# At the end of your script
requests.post('https://your-domain.com/api/pipelines/{pipeline_id}/notify', {
    'status': 'success',
    'message': 'Script completed successfully'
})

Step 3: Test Your Pipeline

Run your script manually to ensure SEER receives the notifications correctly.

SEER monitors your scripts by tracking their execution status and timing:

Pipeline States

• Active: Pipeline is running and being monitored
• Paused: Pipeline monitoring is temporarily disabled
• Failed: Last execution failed or timed out

Execution Status

• Running: Script is currently executing
• Success: Script completed successfully
• Failed: Script encountered an error
• Timeout: Script didn't complete within expected time

Monitoring Features

• Real-time status updates
• Execution history and logs
• Performance metrics and trends
• Automatic failure detection

Stay informed about your pipeline status with notifications:

Slack Integration

1. Go to Settings → Integrations
2. Click "Connect Slack Workspace"
3. Authorize SEER to access your Slack workspace
4. Select channels for different types of notifications

Notification Types

• Failure Alerts: Immediate notification when scripts fail
• Success Confirmations: Optional notifications for successful runs
• Timeout Warnings: Alerts when scripts take longer than expected
• Daily Summaries: Overview of all pipeline activity

Customizing Alerts

You can customize when and how you receive notifications:

• Set quiet hours to avoid notifications during off-hours
• Configure escalation rules for critical failures
• Choose notification channels per pipeline

Your SEER dashboard provides an overview of all your monitored pipelines:

Dashboard Sections

• Pipeline Overview: Status of all active pipelines
• Recent Activity: Latest executions and their results
• Performance Metrics: Success rates and execution times
• Alerts: Current issues requiring attention

Status Indicators

• 🟢 Green: Pipeline running successfully
• 🟡 Yellow: Pipeline has warnings or is overdue
• 🔴 Red: Pipeline has failed or encountered errors
• ⚪ Gray: Pipeline is paused or inactive

Quick Actions

From the dashboard, you can:

• Pause/resume pipelines
• View detailed execution logs
• Trigger manual pipeline runs
• Access pipeline settings
