Progress Tracking and Live Logs

Instalink includes advanced static logs, progress tracking, and real-time account level monitoring of specific requests and their statuses. Static inbound call logs can still be viewed by going to the logs page. The real-time logs feature can be accessed in two ways. You may click on the "Real-Time Logs" link from the account menu to view all processes currently running on an account. You may also go to any CRON or LISTEN action and click on "Records" > "Real-Time Logs" to view live logs only for that specific data flow.

Live Logs include the following statistics:

• Link to static Inbound Record
• Inbound Record Label
• success count
• info count
• error count
• time request started
• most recent update time
• time elapsed
• estimated time to process completion
• Process Rate Projection (estimation of how many records the process could handle in an hour)
• progress count
• progress percentage

The following data flow actions are used to enable progress tracking:

• PROGRESS_TOTAL
  Set the total number of records that will be processed. Can use a template.
• PROGRESS_UPDATE
  Set the amount that should be incremented on the progress. Can also use a template or hardcoded value.

How to Include Progress Tracking on a Data Flow

1. Insert the progress total action as soon as the process knows how much data it is going to iterate through. Set the total amount to how many records will be iterated through.
2. At the end of each iteration, insert a PROGRESS_UPDATE action to increment the progress by the prescribed amount.

Progress, ETA, Projection, Counts will only appear when PROGRESS_TOTAL and PROGRESS_UPDATE actions have been included in the data flow.
