Common Issues (+1)
Common Issues
Issue: DAG not appearing in UI
# Check for import errors
airflow dags list-import-errors
# Validate DAG file
python dags/my_dag.py
# Check scheduler logs
docker logs airflow-scheduler-1 | grep -i error
Issue: Tasks stuck in queued state
# Check worker status
airflow celery status
# Verify executor configuration
airflow config get-value core executor
# Check for resource constraints
kubectl top pods -n airflow
Issue: XCom size limits
# Use external storage for large data
def store_large_result(**context):
# Store in S3 instead of XCom
s3_hook.load_string(large_data, key='results/data.json', bucket='my-bucket')
return 's3://my-bucket/results/data.json' # Return reference only
Issue: Scheduler performance
# Tune scheduler settings
AIRFLOW__SCHEDULER__PARSING_PROCESSES: 4
AIRFLOW__SCHEDULER__MIN_FILE_PROCESS_INTERVAL: 30
AIRFLOW__SCHEDULER__DAG_DIR_LIST_INTERVAL: 60
Debugging Tips
# Add detailed logging
import logging
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
def my_task(**context):
logger.info(f"Starting task with context: {context}")
# ... task logic
logger.debug(f"Intermediate result: {result}")
# Test specific task
airflow tasks test my_dag my_task 2026-01-15
# Clear task state for re-run
airflow tasks clear my_dag -t my_task -s 2026-01-15 -e 2026-01-15
# Trigger DAG run
airflow dags trigger my_dag --conf '{"key": "value"}'
