DP-750 Certification Practice Question #75

Question

Your team operations runbook for a production Lakeflow Job requires that the on-call engineer be notified for the following situations:

1. Whenever a run **fails**, so they can investigate immediately.
2. Whenever a run **exceeds its expected duration**, so they can detect slow-running jobs before an SLA breach.
3. Whenever a run **completes successfully**, so the downstream consumer team knows fresh data is available.

You open the **Job notifications** section of the **Job details** panel and click **Add notification**. Which notification event types must you select to satisfy all three requirements? **(Choose THREE.)**

Accepted Answer

Lakeflow Jobs notifications support the events Start, Success, Failure, Duration warning, and Streaming backlog. Mapping the runbook: investigate on failure → **Failure**; detect slow runs before an SLA breach → **Duration warning** (which additionally requires you to configure an expected-duration threshold on the job/task); notify downstream consumers of fresh data → **Success**. **Start** (D) and **Streaming backlog** (E) don't satisfy any of the three stated needs, and **Cluster termination** (F) is not an available job-notification event. Note that job-level notifications are not re-sent on each retry — use task-level notifications if you need a failure alert after every failed task attempt.
