View the synchronization log files
Each synchronization generates a log file that describes each principal processed and the result. In
the case of a preview synchronization, the log describes the action that would be taken if this were
a manual synchronization.
Logs consist of events with one line per event. The synchronization produces at least one event for
every individual principal processed. In some cases more than one event might be produced.
If any warnings or errors are encountered during a manual or preview synchronization, a second
warning log listing the warnings and errors is generated. The warning log highlights the items
requiring the administrator’s attention. These entries are also found in the main log. The
administrator can use both log files to identify errors and diagnose any warnings.
The synchronization logs page lists, in chronological order, all of the synchronization logs in the
system: whether they are manual, preview or scheduled log files.
