Activity Log Types

Depending on how a pipeline is configured, it will qualify for different logging events while it processes data. These events create log messages that can be found in the Logs section on the Activity tab of your pipeline. Each log also contains the ETL activity that created the log, as well as a unique Log ID which is helpful to provide to Etleap Support when investigating an issue with how your pipeline is processing data.

Activity logs provide information on a pipeline’s status and history. The table below contains the logging events a pipeline can qualify for and examples of the messages that will be added to the Activity Log as a result.
