Hi Sachin,
HVR doesn’t currently offer a built-in alert for when the row-count difference between a source and target table exceeds a threshold. However, a straightforward workaround is available using the Compare functionality.
You can configure a Compare job (Row Counts Only) to capture discrepancies in row counts. These results are recorded in the Compare Event and can be accessed in the UI (Events → Results pane) or via the REST API.
Here’s how you can set this up:
-
Schedule a Compare job (Row Counts Only) to run at your desired interval.
-
Retrieve the results using one of the following:
-
-
REST API:
POST /api/…/comparefollowed by…/compare/table_results_ids -
Command line:
hvrcompare -Rjson -
UI Export: Use the View Results export function
-
-
Use an external monitor (e.g., Cron + Python, Prometheus, or PagerDuty) to evaluate
abs(row_source - row_target) > <your_threshold>
And trigger alerts when the threshold is breached.
We are not planning to build this in HVR.
