Monitor your <Constant name="dbt" /> jobs to help identify improvement and set up alerts to proactively alert the right people or team. 

This portion of our documentation will go over <Constant name="dbt" />'s various capabilities that help you monitor your jobs and set up alerts to ensure seamless orchestration, including:

- [Visualize and orchestrate downstream exposures](/docs/deploy/orchestrate-exposures) <Lifecycle status="managed,managed_plus" /> &mdash; Automatically visualize and orchestrate exposures from dashboards and proactively refresh the underlying data sources during scheduled dbt jobs.
- [Leverage artifacts](/docs/deploy/artifacts) &mdash; <Constant name="dbt" /> generates and saves artifacts for your project, which it uses to power features like creating docs for your project and reporting freshness of your sources.  
- [Job notifications](/docs/deploy/job-notifications) &mdash; Receive email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams notifications when a job run succeeds, encounters warnings, fails, or is canceled.  
- [Model notifications](/docs/deploy/model-notifications) &mdash; Receive email notifications about any issues encountered by your models and tests as soon as they occur while running a job.  
- [Retry jobs](/docs/deploy/retry-jobs) &mdash; Rerun your errored jobs from start or the failure point.  
- [Run visibility](/docs/deploy/run-visibility) &mdash; View your run history to help identify where improvements can be made to scheduled jobs.  
- [Source freshness](/docs/deploy/source-freshness) &mdash; Monitor data governance by enabling snapshots to capture the freshness of your data sources.  
- [Webhooks](/docs/deploy/webhooks) &mdash; Use webhooks to send events about your dbt jobs' statuses to other systems.
