In the Adobe Experience Platform user interface, you can view and monitor the attributes and activities of your destinations. These details include the destination’s name and ID, controls to activate or disable the destinations, and more. Details also include metrics for activated profile records, identities activated, failed, and excluded, and a history of dataflow runs.
The destinations details page is part of the Destinations workspace in the Platform UI. See the Destinations workspace overview for more information.

Log in to the Experience Platform UI and select Destinations from the left navigation bar. Select Browse from the top header to view your existing destinations.
Select the filter icon on the top left to launch the sort panel. The sort panel provides a list of all your destinations. You can select more than one destination from the list to see a filtered selection of dataflows associated with the selected destination.

Alternatively, you can bring up other information about the destination by selecting the name of the destination that you want to view.
The details page for the destination appears in the right rail, showing its available controls.

The Dataflow runs tab provides metric data on your dataflow runs to batch and streaming destinations. Refer to Monitor dataflows for details and metric definitions.
There is a difference in the displayed duration of dataflow runs between streaming and file-based destinations.
While the Processing duration indicated for most streaming dataflow runs is about four hours, as shown in the image below, the actual processing time for any dataflow run is much shorter. Dataflow run windows stay open for longer in the event that Experience Platform needs to retry making calls to the destination and also ensure to ensure it does not miss out on any late arriving data for same time window.
For more information, read about dataflow runs to streaming destinations in the monitoring documentation.
For dataflow runs to file-based destinations, the Processing duration depends on the size of the data being exported and the system load. Notice also that the dataflow runs to file-based destinations are broken down per audience.
For more information, read about dataflow runs to batch (file-based) destinations in the monitoring documentation.
The Activation data tab displays a list of audiences that have been mapped to the destination, including their start date and end date (if applicable), and other relevant information for the data export, such as export type, schedule, and frequency.
