Activities
Monitor pipeline runs, task executions, and orchestrations with detailed status tracking and object-level metrics.
Overview
Activities track every pipeline run, task execution, and orchestration with execution status, duration, row counts, and detailed object-level breakdowns.
Activity types:
- Pipeline Run - Ingestion pipeline execution (clickable for details)
- Activation Run - Activation pipeline execution (clickable for details)
- Task Run - SQL task execution (list view only, not clickable)
Each pipeline run and activation run shows object-level details including ingestion mode (Historical or Incremental), incremental sync timestamps, and per-stage metrics (Ingest → Load).
To access: Navigate to Activities in the sidebar.
Activities List
The activities list shows all executions with search, filters, and auto-refresh.
List Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Activity name with icon (Pipeline Run, Activation Run, or Task Run) Activity ID shown below in gray |
| Started | Relative time (e.g., "6 days ago") |
| Duration | Execution time (e.g., "14s", "39m 59s") |
| Objects | Number of tables/objects synced (pipeline/activation runs only) Shows "-" for task runs |
| Rows | Total rows processed (pipeline/activation runs only) Shows "-" for task runs |
| Status | Status badge: Completed, Failed, Timed out, Running, etc. |
Search and Filters
Search Bar:
- Search by activity name
- Real-time filtering as you type
Type Filter:
- Default shows 2 types: Pipeline Run and Task Run
- Click to select/deselect: Pipeline Run, Activation Run, Task Run
- Shows count of selected types (e.g., "Type (2)")
Status Filter:
- Select multiple statuses: Completed, Failed, Timed out, Running, Queued, etc.
- Click Apply to filter
- Click Clear to reset
Refresh:
- Manual refresh button
- Shows "Last refreshed: less than a minute ago"
- Auto-refresh: ON when activities are running, OFF when all completed
Clicking an Activity
Pipeline Run and Activation Run:
- Click the row to open the activity detail page
- Shows detailed object-level breakdowns, ingestion modes, and stage metrics
Task Run:
- Not clickable - no detail page available
- View summary information in the list only
Canceling a Running Activity
To cancel:
- Hover over the status badge on any running activity (shows "In progress", "Queued", or "Picked")
- Badge transforms to show "Cancel" with an X icon
- Click the "Cancel" button
- Confirm cancellation in the modal
What happens:
- Activity stops executing
- Status changes to "Cancelled"
- Cannot be undone
Note: There may be a slight delay before execution fully stops.
Activity Detail Page
To open: Click any Pipeline Run or Activation Run in the activities list
The detail page shows comprehensive execution information with object-level breakdowns.
Header
Elements:
- Back arrow - Returns to activities list
- Pipeline name - Clickable link to open pipeline in IDE
- Status badge - Current status (Completed, Failed, Running, etc.)
Cancel button (running activities only):
- Hover over the status badge (transforms to "Cancel")
- Click to cancel execution
- Confirmation required before stopping
Summary Cards
Three cards display aggregate metrics:
Details Card
- Source → Destination with connector icons
- Started at - When execution began
- Duration - Total execution time
Objects Card
- Successful - Objects completed
- Queued - Objects waiting
- Failed - Objects with errors
- Running - Objects currently processing
Rows Card
- Ingested - Total rows read from source
- Loaded - Total rows written to destination
- Failed - Total rows that failed
- Max Latency - Highest latency observed
Objects List
Display:
- Search bar to filter objects
- Status filter dropdown
- Refresh button with auto-refresh indicator
- Table showing all synced objects
Table Columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Object Name | Table/object name with ingestion mode label Historical - Full sync Incremental - Only changes synced Hover to see incremental timestamp (e.g., "UPDATE_DATE: 2025-12-12T22:06:07.167535642") |
| Duration | Time to sync this object |
| Max Latency | Latency for this object |
| # Ingested | Rows read during ingestion |
| # Loaded | Rows written to destination |
| # Failed | Rows that failed |
| Status | Completed, Failed, Running, etc. |
Expand Object Details:
Click the chevron (▸) to expand any object and see stage-level breakdown:
Stage: Ingest
- Rows ingested from source
- Duration and latency metrics
Stage: Load
- Rows loaded to destination
- Duration and latency metrics
Incremental Sync Positions
For objects synced incrementally, the ingestion mode shows "Incremental" label.
To view the cursor timestamp:
- Hover over the object name row
- Tooltip displays the incremental position (e.g., "UPDATE_DATE: 2025-12-12T22:06:07.167535642")
This timestamp shows where the last sync ended. The next incremental sync will start from this position.
Activity Statuses
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Completed | Successfully finished |
| Failed | Execution encountered errors |
| Timed out | Exceeded maximum execution time |
| Running | Currently executing (clickable to cancel) |
| Queued | Waiting to start |
Troubleshooting
Activity Stuck in "Running"
Problem: Activity shows "Running" status for extended period.
Solution:
- Hover over the status badge and click "Cancel" to stop the activity
- Check pipeline configuration for issues
- Verify source/destination connectivity
- Retry the pipeline run
Activity Failed
Problem: Activity shows "Failed" status.
Solution:
- Click the activity to view detail page
- Look for failed objects in the objects list
- Expand failed objects to see stage-level errors
- Common causes:
- Expired credentials
- Insufficient permissions
- Schema mismatches
- Connection timeouts
- Fix the underlying issue and retry
No Objects or Rows Shown
Problem: Objects and Rows columns show "-".
Solution:
- This is normal for Task Run activities (only pipeline/activation runs have object-level metrics)
- Ensure Type filter includes "Pipeline Run" or "Activation Run"
- If activity is still running, metrics populate when complete
Incremental Sync Not Working
Problem: Every run syncs full data instead of only changes.
Solution:
- Click activity to view detail page
- Check if objects show "Historical" instead of "Incremental"
- Verify pipeline has incremental cursor field configured
- Check source supports incremental sync
