Data source syncs

Every time a connector collects data, Mesh records it. Data source syncs is where you read those records: one row per run, newest first.

Use it to answer three questions:

QuestionWhere to look
Did last night's collection work?The Status column
How much did it bring in?The Items column
Why did it fail, and what do I fix?Open the row, then Troubleshoot a sync

Where to find it

  1. Select Settings.
  2. Select Data source syncs.

The Data source syncs tab: five summary cards above a table of runs, one row per run

One row per run

A single collection has a start and a finish. Data source syncs joins them into one row, so the count of rows is the count of runs — not double it.

A run that has started but not finished shows as In progress. When it finishes, the same row updates with the outcome and the duration.

What it covers

  • Every connector type. Whatever you have connected appears here.
  • Scheduled and manual runs. A run you triggered yourself is recorded the same way as one that ran on its schedule, and the Trigger column tells you which it was.
  • The last 90 days, selectable in the time-range filter.
Counts are per run

The Items column is what that one run collected — not a running total for the connector. A connector that collects nothing new on an incremental run is working correctly, and shows a low number.

Two screens, two questions

Data source syncs sits alongside the connector list, and they answer different questions. Both are useful; use the one that matches what you are asking.

ScreenAnswers
Connectors listIs this connector healthy right now?
Data source syncsWhat happened on each individual run?

A connector can be healthy today and still have a failed run last week. That is normal, and the two screens showing different things is not a contradiction — they are reporting different time frames.
