Hi Team , 1--- I see that we have to pass stateID for

meltano el <extractor> <loader> [--state-id TEXT]

I see that when we run just

meltano el <extractor> <loader>

I see that a state is created but not used in the next run. Is it expected that I have to pass the state ID every time? 2--- Does using a stream map like the one below only disable data load, or do extractions also stop? I have a use case to exclude the stream without doing anything.

{
  "stream_maps": {
    "addresses": null
  }
}

3-- Is there a way to see all metrics of an el run in a tabular format?

Is it expected that I have to pass the state ID every time?

Yes,

meltano el

expects an explicit state ID for incremental pipelines

Does using a stream map like the one below only disable data load, or do extractions also stop? I have a use case to exclude the stream without doing anything.

Using a stream map like that will cause the stream to be dropped after it's been extracted. To avoid extracting the stream in the first place, you want to use https://docs.meltano.com/concepts/plugins/#select-extra

Is there a way to see all metrics of an el run in a tabular format?

Not at the moment but do log an issue and include which metrics would be most helpful 🙏

perfect thanks for the inputs @Edgar Ramírez (Arch.dev)
