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
INTEGRATIONRBAC 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
- Viewing reports works the same way across every Connector: go to the right Connector, click the Report tab, select a time/status filter, then monitor the metrics.
- The main differences are in the layout and the specific metrics shown for each Connector type. See the detailed report for each Connector type below:
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.
