Import Log

Every importer run is recorded on the Import Logs page in Flow. Depending on the amount of data, a run may take some time. Open the Import Logs page to review past runs of any importer.

Warnings indicate inconsistent data; the run still completes as SUCCESS. If only some entities fail (e.g. a datasource returns malformed data or is unreachable) the run is recorded as PARTIAL; if the run cannot be completed at all it is recorded as FAIL. Failures are recorded with the error message.

Import log

Each import run in the Import Logs list shows:

fielddescription
DateDate and time the import run started.
DurationHow long the run took.
ResultOverall result of the run: SUCCESS, PARTIAL (some entities failed) or FAIL.
WarningsNumber of warnings recorded during the run.
ErrorsNumber of errors recorded during the run.

Details

Opening a run shows the change counts per imported entity together with all log messages:

fielddescription
EntityThe imported entity (for example User, Organization, Course or Survey).
InsertedNumber of records that were newly inserted in this run.
DeletedNumber of records that were removed since the previous run.
Log messagesIndividual INFO, WARNING and ERROR entries, each with a message and timestamp (errors also include a stack trace).

Example log messages

A successful run may still record warnings, for example:

  • WARNING — Could not import some events as the corresponding course is missing. Events that could not be imported: <idOfEventWithMissingCourse> (Course: <idOfMissingCourse>)
  • WARNING — Some registrations reference a course that was not imported: <courseId>

A failed run records the error that caused it, for example:

  • ERROR — Could not fetch data from the datasource, please check the endpoint and its response format.
