dbt run --select dbt_artifacts on every prod run?

[CMoney88]

Hello, we have a production DBT job that runs using DBT cloud every 4 hours. We have setup dbt_artifacts and it is working properly. My question is, does the command dbt run --select dbt_artifacts need to be run as part of every DBT cloud job? Or does that only need to be run once? Should it be inline with the existing jobs, or be a stand alone job that runs on it's own schedule.

I don't fully understand the commands behavior and how it should be used. Thanks!

Hi Cameron,
if you'll update your dbt_project.yml on-run-end (https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/project-configs/on-run-start-on-run-end) with

• "{{ dbt_artifacts.upload_results(results) }}" (https://github.com/brooklyn-data/dbt_artifacts point 1) then the artifacts will be running after each invocation (seed, run, test) of every job. You won't need to put a command for it.
  Hope that helps :)
