How to auto activate DAGS in airflow

Question

I'm new to airflow and I wonder how can I have DAGs to auto-activate after being loaded.

I mean the switches, they are off by default

Answer 1

For All Dags :

Change dags_are_paused_at_creation to False in airflow.cfg .

You will find it in [core] section.

[core]
# Are DAGs paused by default at creation
dags_are_paused_at_creation = False

Single DAG : If you do not want to change it for all DAGs, you can set is_paused_upon_creation=True when creating DAG object.

Example:

dag = DAG(
    DAG_NAME, 
    schedule_interval='*/10 * * * *', 
    default_args=default_args, 
    is_paused_upon_creation=True)
