Optional

Type:integer

Minimum:60

Dataset to diff

Type:string

Key fields

keyFields

Required

Field(s) that identify an item across runs, e.g. url, or id, or title + company. Nested paths like product.sku work. Items missing every key field are skipped and counted in the summary.

Type:array

Watch only these fields

watchFields

Optional

Optional. Only a change in one of these fields counts as changed. Empty means every field except the ignored ones.

Type:array

Ignore these fields

ignoreFields

Type:array

Optional

Named key-value store that keeps the last snapshot. One store can hold snapshots for many monitors.

Type:string

Default:dataset-diff-monitor

Snapshot key

snapshotKey

Key for this monitor's snapshot inside the store. Leave empty to derive one from the source Actor/Task/dataset and the source input, so each distinct monitor gets its own key automatically.

Type:string

Monitor title

title

Optional

Name shown at the top of every message, e.g. Chicago data-engineer jobs. Defaults to the source name.

Type:string

Label field

labelField

Optional

telegramChatId
