Viewing datastream issues

This guide explains how to view datastream issues.

Introduction

There are two types of issues in Adverity:

Errors

Errors signal critical issues and stop processing the data.

Warnings

Warnings signal non-critical issues and continue processing the data.

Adverity's datastream issues inform you about potential problems with your data and datastreams. These problems include the following issues:

• Issues that prevent your datastream from fetching data from your chosen data source, such as incorrect datastream configuration settings

• Issues that occur while applying an enrichment to your data extract, such as incorrect configuration of an enrichment

• Issues detected by data monitors, such as duplicate data rows in your data extracts

Viewing datastream issues

There are a number of ways to stay up-to-date with all the datastream warnings and errors in your Adverity workspace. You can find datastream issues in the following ways:

• Set up notifications so that Adverity will inform you about errors and warnings

• See warnings and errors relating to all datastreams in the task monitor in the Activity page

• Click the Warnings or Failed tab in the overview of a datastream (shown below) to see warnings or errors relating to this datastream
