Sensor Examples

Basic Sensor Example

This example includes a check_for_new_files function that simulates finding new files. In a real scenario, this function would check an actual system or directory.

The sensor runs every 5 seconds. If it finds new files, it starts a run of my_job. If not, it skips the run and logs "No new files found" in the Dagster UI.
