Airflow unpause dag programmatically?

airflow-rest-api-plugin plugin can also be used to programmatically pause tasks.

Pauses a DAG

Available in Airflow Version: 1.7.0 or greater

GET - http://{HOST}:{PORT}/admin/rest_api/api?api=pause

Query Arguments:

dag_id - string - The id of the dag

subdir (optional) - string - File location or directory from which to look for the dag

Examples:

http://{HOST}:{PORT}/admin/rest_api/api?api=pause&dag_id=test_id

See for more details: https://github.com/teamclairvoyant/airflow-rest-api-plugin


I created the following function to do so if anyone else runs into this issue:

import airflow.settings
from airflow.models import DagModel
def unpause_dag(dag):
    """
    A way to programatically unpause a DAG.
    :param dag: DAG object
    :return: dag.is_paused is now False
    """
    session = airflow.settings.Session()
    try:
        qry = session.query(DagModel).filter(DagModel.dag_id == dag.dag_id)
        d = qry.first()
        d.is_paused = False
        session.commit()
    except:
        session.rollback()
    finally:
        session.close()

supply your dag_id and run this command on your command line.

airflow pause dag_id.

I think you are looking for unpause ( not pause)

airflow unpause DAG_ID
