Fivetran Health Checks
How to setup health checks for Fivetran connectors
fivetran •Dec 6, 2024NextETL introduces a robust health check system for Fivetran connectors that operates independently of your sync schedule. These health checks are lightweight operations designed to verify the connectivity between Fivetran and your data sources.
Frequent Monitoring
While you might schedule your Fivetran syncs to run nightly or every 6 hours, health checks can be executed much more frequently - typically every 30 minutes. This frequent monitoring ensures early detection of potential connectivity issues.
Automatic Recovery
A key feature of NextETL’s health checks is automatic error recovery. When issues like expired certificates or changed credentials are detected, the system can automatically:
- Identify the specific connection problem
- Attempt to reconnect the connector
- Restore normal operations without manual intervention
Preventing Sync Failures
By proactively monitoring and resolving connectivity issues between scheduled syncs, health checks significantly reduce the likelihood of sync failures. This means:
- Less disruption to your data pipeline
- Fewer manual interventions required
- More reliable data delivery schedules
Benefits
- Lightweight monitoring that doesn’t impact performance
- Early warning system for potential issues
- Automatic recovery from common connection problems
- Reduced sync failures and data pipeline disruptions
