active:false Assets

Behavior Summary

When an asset is configured with active: false, the asset remains visible and registered in the Dagster workspace, but no automation condition or automatic trigger is applied. The asset is effectively disabled from automated orchestration workflows.

Resolution

If an asset is expected to run automatically but remains inactive:

1. Open the asset configuration file.

2. Locate the active property.

3. Verify whether the asset is configured with:

   Inactive Asset

   active: false

4. Change the configuration to:

   Activating Asset

   active: true

5. Save the configuration file.

6. Reload the Dagster workspace or restart the orchestrator services.
