@kapa.ai I’m using no-code connector to ingest auth0. Is there a way to pass the last sync date or last ingested record date as a value to a query parameter?
k
Hmm, I don't know enough to give you a confident answer yet. However, you might find helpful information in the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/) or by exploring the [Airbyte community forum](https://discuss.airbyte.io/). These resources can provide guidance on configuring connectors and handling incremental syncs.

@kapa.ai, in airbyte low-code connector, there are interpolation variables, that allow jinja expressions. What variable can I use to get the last sync date?
k
A message from kapa.ai
In Airbyte's low-code connector, you can use interpolation variables that allow Jinja expressions. To get the last sync date, you can use the
{{ last_record }}
variable. This variable holds the last record extracted from the response received from the API, which typically includes the date of the last synced record. Here is an example of how you might use it in your configuration:
Copy code
yaml {   "start_date": "{{ last_record.date_field }}" }
For more details on the available interpolation variables, you can refer to the [YAML Reference](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/understanding-the-yaml-file/reference#variables). If you need to reference the start and end date of the interval that's currently synced, you can use the
{{ stream_interval.start_time }}
and
{{ stream_interval.end_time }}
placeholders. This can be particularly useful if you need to inject these values into the URL path of the current stream. For example:
Copy code
yaml {   "url": "<https://api.example.com/data?start_date=>{{ stream_interval.start_time }}&end_date={{ stream_interval.end_time }}" }
For more information on using these placeholders, check out the [incremental sync documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/incremental-sync#example). By using these variables, you can effectively manage incremental syncs and ensure that your connector only fetches new or updated data since the last sync.

@kapa.ai, is there a way to check the values that were passed to stream_interval.start_time and stream_interval.end_time and previous job history syncs?
k
A message from kapa.ai
To check the values that were passed to
stream_interval.start_time
and
stream_interval.end_time
and to review previous job history syncs, you can follow these steps: 1. Reviewing Sync Logs: The sync logs contain detailed information about each sync operation, including the values of
stream_interval.start_time
and
stream_interval.end_time
. You can access these logs through the Airbyte UI or by querying the logs directly if you have access to the backend. 2. Using the Airbyte UI: - Navigate to the Connections tab in the Airbyte UI. - Select the connection you are interested in. - Click on the Job History tab to view the history of sync jobs. - For each job, you can click on the Logs button to view detailed logs, which will include the values of
stream_interval.start_time
and
stream_interval.end_time
. 3. Example Log Entry: Here is an example of what you might find in the logs:
Copy code
json    {      "start_time": "2023-04-15T07:30:58Z",      "end_time": "2023-04-16T07:30:58Z"    }
4. Using the API: If you prefer to use the API, you can query the job history endpoint to retrieve detailed information about past syncs, including the state messages that contain the
stream_interval
values. 5. Documentation Links: - For more information on using the
stream_interval
variable, refer to the [YAML Reference](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/understanding-the-yaml-file/reference#variables). - For details on incremental syncs and how to configure them, check out the [incremental sync documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/incremental-sync#example). By following these steps, you can effectively monitor and review the values passed to
stream_interval.start_time
and
stream_interval.end_time
and gain insights into the history of your sync jobs.
v
@kapa.ai, I can’t find start_time and end_time while checking the logs in the UI, as you suggested. What can be the reason for that?
k
A message from kapa.ai
If you can't find
start_time
and
end_time
while checking the logs in the Airbyte UI, there could be several reasons for this: 1. Incorrect Configuration: Ensure that your connector is correctly configured to use incremental syncs and that the
stream_interval
variables are properly set up in your configuration. Refer to the [incremental sync documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/incremental-sync#configuration) for detailed instructions. 2. Log Level Settings: The log level settings might not be detailed enough to capture the
start_time
and
end_time
values. Ensure that the logging level is set to capture detailed information. 3. Connector Limitations: Some connectors might not support logging these specific details. Check the documentation for your specific connector to see if there are any known limitations. 4. State Management: The
start_time
and
end_time
values are part of the state management for incremental syncs. If the state is not being managed correctly, these values might not be logged. Ensure that the state management is correctly implemented in your connector. 5. Custom Parameter Injection: If you are using custom parameter injection, make sure that the parameters are correctly set up to include
stream_interval.start_time
and
stream_interval.end_time
. Refer to the [custom parameter injection documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/incremental-sync#custom-parameter-injection) for more details. 6. API Response: The API you are connecting to might not be returning the expected values. Ensure that the API response includes the necessary fields and that they are correctly mapped in your configuration. If you have verified all the above points and still can't find the
start_time
and
end_time
values, you might need to reach out to the Airbyte community or support for further assistance. You can post your issue on the [Airbyte community forum](https://discuss.airbyte.io/) or check the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/) for more troubleshooting tips.

@kapa.ai, how can I adjust log level settings for a low-code connector builder integration, in a way that it will be more verbose?
k
A message from kapa.ai
To adjust the log level settings for a low-code connector builder integration in Airbyte to make it more verbose, you can follow these steps: 1. Access the Connector Configuration: - Navigate to the Airbyte UI. - Go to the Connections tab and select the connection you want to adjust. 2. Edit the Connector Configuration: - Click on the Edit button for the source or destination connector. - Look for the configuration section where you can specify additional settings. 3. Set the Log Level: - Add or modify the log level setting in the configuration. While the specific method to set the log level might vary depending on the connector, you can generally add a configuration parameter to increase verbosity. 4. Example Configuration: Here is an example of how you might set the log level to
DEBUG
in a YAML configuration file:
Copy code
yaml    logging:      level: DEBUG
5. Save and Apply: - Save the changes to the configuration. - Apply the changes and run a new sync to see the more verbose logs. 6. Review the Logs: - After running the sync, go to the Job History tab for the connection. - Click on the Logs button for the latest job to review the more detailed logs. For more detailed instructions on configuring connectors and managing logs, you can refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/).
