Destinations health checks

The destinations health checks scan your sandbox for expired activation schedules, dataflow failures, and destination dataflows approaching platform guardrails.

Expired activation schedules expired-activation-schedules

Identifies destination activation schedules that have an expired end date while the dataflow remains active. This check was previously documented as “Stale destination schedules.”

Detail
Description
Issue
One or more destination activation schedules have a past end date but the dataflow remains active.
Impact
The dataflow stops exporting data, and you might wonder why your campaign stopped receiving data.
Remediation
Extend the expired end date, create a new dataflow, or remove the dataflow.

When you select the Expired Activation Schedules card, a detail panel opens on the right. The panel shows:

  • Description: Explains that the configured activation end date is in the past while the dataflow is still active. This check inspects existing destination activation schedules for this condition.
  • Impact: The dataflow stops exporting data, and you might wonder why your campaign stopped receiving data.
  • General areas of impact: Destination activation schedules.
  • Experience League documentation: Links to schedule audience exports for streaming and batch destinations.
  • Recommendation: Extend the expired end date, create a new dataflow, or remove the dataflow.
  • Affected flows: A list of active dataflows with audiences that have a past activation end date, including the associated audience and expired end date. Use the link icon to open the flow.
