Connector card for MyS7Route with the monitor icon highlighted and a Connector Monitor tooltip
Why Monitor Connectors?
You need to know whether a connector is running correctly — whether it is connected, how many messages it has processed, and whether there are errors. The Monitor window gives you live status metrics and real-time logs filtered to a single connector, so you can troubleshoot without searching through broker-wide output.When to Use It
- Verifying connectivity — Confirm that a connector is connected to its target system after creation or configuration changes
- Tracking activity — Check message counts and error rates to validate that events and mappings are executing
- Troubleshooting connections — See why a connector failed to connect using status details and log entries
- Exporting for analysis — Download filtered logs as JSON, CSV, or LOG for offline review
Accessing the Monitor
Open the Connectors Manager, click on a connector card, and select Monitor. The Monitor window opens with two tabs: Status and Logs.

Status Tab
The Status tab displays live metrics from the broker for the selected connector.

Monitor window, Status tab: connection, health, and uptime in the header, then the Overview cards and the Activity Timeline
Start and Stop
The header has a Stop button while the connector runs, and Start while it’s stopped. Stop saves the connector withDISABLE true, the same as Disable on its card. The connector stays defined but doesn’t run, and the header says so. Start removes the line. The button follows changes made elsewhere, such as in the LoT Editor.
