Description

Search – Assets
Filters to Add
-
Filter by Asset Group
↪ Narrow results to a logical grouping of assets (e.g.,revenue_reporting,customer_metrics) -
Filter by Consuming DAG and / or Producing Task
↪ Quickly locate assets by their upstream producer or downstream consumer -
Filter by Last Event Timestamp (Range)
↪ Identify stale or recently updated assets -
Filter by Is Alias (Yes/No)
↪ Distinguish between assets vs. placeholders -
Filter by Has Events (Yes/No)
↪ Distinguish between assets with active data lineage vs inactive definitions
API Support
- The
assetsAPI supports filtering by:dag_id,task_id, and sometimesgroup
- Currently lacks:
- Filtering by event presence (
has_events) - Range filtering by last event timestamp
- Filtering by event presence (
UI Impact
- Add a filter panel above the asset list table
- Useful in large deployments with hundreds or thousands of assets
Notes
- Enables users to answer critical questions like:
- “What assets are stale?”
- “Which DAGs produce assets in this domain?”
- Especially helpful when debugging broken pipelines or validating asset freshness

Something similar here: #47164.

@cmarteepants, is there currently a way to assign an Asset to a "group"?
cmarteepants commentedon Jul 23, 2025
@jroachgolf84 there is an arg for it, but it's not currently being reflected in the UI. Probably 3.2 when we revamp it.

Hey @cmarteepants and @jroachgolf84, I'd like to work on this. Can you please assign it to me?
Additionally, issue #53053 is somewhat related. Can I also pick that up, along with this issue?

@nikhil25803, how are we progressing on this?
nikhil25803 commentedon Aug 11, 2025
Hey @vatsrahul1001, I faced some issues while setting up the repo 😅, but I managed to do it. I'm working on it and will try to raise a PR by Sunday this week.

@nikhil25803 We are unassigning you from this issue as part of our updated assignment policy.
This is not meant to discourage your contribution — quite the opposite! You are still very welcome to work on this issue and submit a PR for it. Simply comment that you are working on it and open a PR when ready.
We found that formal assignments were not working well, as they often prevented others from contributing when the assignee was not actively working on the issue.

@cmarteepants - what do you mean by this:
Is there a way to specify an "Asset Group"? In the UI right now, it just says "asset".

Hi, I'd like to work on this.
The API doesn't yet support
has_eventsor last-event-timestamp rangefiltering, so I'll scope my first PR to what's already there: Consuming DAG and Producing Task, following the pattern from the completed sibling issues under #53040.Leaving Asset Group out for now, as @jroachgolf84's question about it is still open.
