Monitor dataflows for Profiles in the UI
Real-Time Customer Profile lets you see a holistic view of each individual customer by combining data from multiple channels, including online, offline, CRM, and third party. Profile allows you to consolidate your customer data into a unified view offering an actionable, timestamped account of every customer interaction.
The monitoring dashboard provides you with a visual representation of the data’s activity within Profile, including the status of your data’s Profiles. This tutorial provides instructions on how you can use the monitoring dashboard to monitor your data’s profiles using the Experience Platform user interface, allowing you to track the status of Profile processing.
Getting started
This guide requires a working understanding of the following components of Adobe Experience Platform:
- Dataflows: Dataflows are a representation of data jobs that move data across Platform. Dataflows are configured across different services, helping move data from source connectors to target datasets, to Identity and Profile, and to Destinations.
- Dataflow runs: Dataflow runs are the recurring scheduled jobs based on the frequency configuration of selected dataflows.
- Real-Time Customer Profile: Provides a unified, real-time consumer profile based on aggregated data from multiple sources.
- Sandboxes: Experience Platform provides virtual sandboxes which partition a single Platform instance into separate virtual environments to help develop and evolve digital experience applications.
Monitoring profiles dashboard
To access the Profiles dashboard, select Monitoring in the left navigation. Once on the Monitoring page, select the Profiles card.
On the main Profiles dashboard, the Profiles card shows information about the total number of records received, the number of profile fragments created and updated, as well as the success rate of created and updated profile fragments.
The dashboard itself contains metrics about Profile processing. By default, the dashboard will show Profile processing details for your organization’s sources for the last 24 hours.
The Profile processing page contains information on records ingested to Profile, including number of profile fragments created, profile fragments updated, and the total number of profile fragments.
The following metrics are available for this dashboard view:
