Overview of Data Flow Synchronization Reports

Once your sync is running, you need to know whether it's actually working — how many records came in, whether any failed, and where to look when something looks off. This guide walks through the 3-level Data Flow report, from summary metrics down to session details.

1. Overview

  • Definition: Monitors sync results from your source into Mobio, using a 3-level model: sync summary, sync session list, and session detail.
  • Value: Helps System Admins track sync progress, reconcile recorded vs. processed record counts, and catch errors or data backlogs early.
  • Users: System Admin, Technical Service.

2. Terminology & Configuration Parameters

  • Sync Session: A sync session created when a Connector is turned on or run on schedule. The session ends when the connection is disconnected, completes, or fails.
  • Record: Each line of data read from the source. A processed record doesn’t necessarily correspond 1:1 to a Mobio entity — one entity can have multiple records.
  • Sync Status: The sync session’s status.
  • Report level:
    • Level 1: Summary of sync results (Total Source Records/total processed records, total sync sessions).
    • Level 2: List of sync sessions that have run.
    • Level 3: Sync details by date and by entity within each session.
  • Time filter: Today, Yesterday, 7 days ago, 30 days ago, This month, Last month, 90 days ago, Custom.
  • Sync status filter: Awaiting processing, Syncing, Failed Sync, Sync Stopped, Sync Complete.

3. Prerequisites

  • Related article: Complete Create Connector and Configure the data source for at least 1 entity.
  • Permissions: Your Mobio account must have the INTEGRATION RBAC permission. See the RBAC permissions guide.
  • Access Path: Go to Settings → Data Integration → Data Flow/Data Source → Sync Report.
  • Input data: The sync process must have already run.

4. Reading the Sync Report

4.1. Understand the General Principles Before Viewing Reports

4.2. Open the Report and Set Filters

  • Select the Connector you want to view the report for.
  • Click Sync Report.
  • Select the time filter to monitor, if needed.
  • Check the summary metrics block at the top of the page for a quick read on sync status.

4.3. View the Sync Summary (Level 1)

  • Track the metrics: total records, total processed records, and total sessions run.
  • Compare metric changes across time periods to assess how stable your data pipeline is.
  • For Connector-specific metrics, see that Connector’s detailed report.

4.4. View the Sync Session List (Level 2)

  • Scroll down to the list of sync sessions that have run.
  • Compare each session’s status to see whether it’s running, complete, or failed.
  • Prioritize checking sessions with unusual progress or a large gap between Number of Processed Records and Number of Successfully Processed Records.

4.5. View Session Details (Level 3)

  • Select a specific session for details.
  • View detailed data by date and by synced entity for that session.
  • Check checkpoint information of Snapshot sessions (if applicable).
  • Narrow down the time period or data group where errors occurred.

4.6. Track the Report Update Cycle

  • Sync refreshes every 10 minutes.
  • Data audit runs every 1 hour.
  • To investigate a data discrepancy, first narrow it down to the affected sync session, then open that session’s detail screen to check the data day by day.

5. Operational Rules & Use Cases

  • If a Streaming process runs for multiple days, check the daily detailed report too — otherwise, a gap between recording time and processing time can make the data look wrong.
  • If the Number of Processed Records increases but the Number of Successfully Processed Records doesn’t increase proportionally, review the log more closely to find the cause.
  • In a Snapshot sync session, monitoring the checkpoint helps you see how far a session has progressed.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Q: How often does the report update?
    • A: The sync report refreshes every 10 minutes. Data audit runs every 1 hour.
  • Q: If I don’t see any records in the report, what should I check first?
    • A: Check whether the Connector is turned on and whether a sync session ran during the filtered period; then check that session’s status in the sync session list.
