When a node in a smart baseline misses its deadline — due to a failure or slowdown — DataWorks generates an event and sends alert notifications. The Events tab lets you monitor these events, understand which baselines are at risk, and suppress or dismiss alerts while the issue is being resolved.
Edition requirement
Event management requires DataWorks Standard Edition or a higher edition. DataWorks Basic Edition does not support this feature. To upgrade, see Differences among DataWorks editions.
Event types
DataWorks generates an event when a node in a baseline — or an ancestor node of that node — fails to run, or when a node on the key path slows down significantly. Each event is linked to the node that caused it.
| Event type | Trigger condition |
|---|---|
| Error | A node fails to run. |
| Slow | The node's running time is significantly longer than its historical average. |
If a node slows down and then encounters an error, two separate events are generated.
View events
The Events tab has two main areas:
Filter conditions (area 1)
Filter events by Owner, Detection Time Range, Event Status, Event Type, Priority, Node, and Node Instance. Each result row represents one event and its associated node.
Events list (area 2)
Each event displays the following columns: Event ID, Status, Workspace, Node Instance, Priority, Type, Time, and Worst Baseline.
The Actions column provides three operations:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| View Details | Opens the event details page. |
| Handle | Prompts you to set a handling duration. DataWorks suppresses alert notifications for the event during that period and logs the operation. |
| Ignore | Permanently stops alert notifications for the event and logs the operation. |

The page is organized into the following sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic information | Node name, event type, and event owner. |
| Worst baseline | If the associated node has multiple descendant nodes in enabled baselines, the baseline with the least alert margin is displayed here. |
| Time information | A timeline showing when the event occurred, when it was detected, when the first alert notification was sent, the latest handling time, and when the event was cleared. Click View Alert Content to go to the alert details page. |
| Affected baselines | Baselines whose data output is affected by this event. |
| History | A trend chart of the node's daily data output time. |
| Node logs | Operation logs for the auto triggered instance of the associated node on the current day. |
