Is it possible to get the actual start time of a dag in Airflow? By start time I mean the exact time the first task of a dag starts running.
I know I can use macros to get the execution date. If the job is ran using trigger_dag this is what I would call a start time but if the job is ran on a daily schedule then {{ execution_date }} returns yesterdays date.
I have also tried to place datetime.now().isoformat() in the body of the dag code and then pass it to a task but this seems to return the time the task is first called rather than when the dag itself started.
{{ dag_run.start_date }} provides the actual start time of the dag
