Anyone using the Google Search Console connector have issues with the streams being empty? It seems like I am only getting data from 3 streams
Copy code
search_analytics_by_date
sites
sitemaps
and the rest of the streams are empty from the sync
Copy code
search_analytics_all_fields
search_analytics_country
search_analytics_page
search_analytics_device
search_analytics_query
There are no failures indicated in the log
Copy code
failures: [ ]

Hey @wp, thanks for the question. What version connector are you using? Are you using custom reports?
w
it is using
google search console 0.1.17
via service account with no custom report
s
I notice you're using incremental append for the streams that are empty. Did you previously do a full refresh and is there new data?
w
yea, the streams were reset before a sync
feel weird that if i am getting data for the 3 streams i don’t see why it would be empty for the others.
Copy code
search_analytics_by_date
sites
sitemaps
s
Can you share the sync logs by any chance?
w
yea sure. This is from the run after the reset.
s
Do a full refresh for the streams that didn't return any data.
w
yea i just did as well
same thing
only the same 3 streams were returning data

Did these streams return data before? Or is this is the first time you're running into this problem? Did you recently upgrade?
I'm not really understanding why it's reading in 0 records for each of those streams
w
this is the first time i am running the connector. Just wondering why we aren’t getting anything from those stream as its not something configurable on search console.
s
Is there a way to verify that there are actually records that should be synced? It could be returning 0 records because there are in fact 0 records to extract from the source.
w
I dont think there is a way….i assume the streams are just different filters of the same data. I was able to view similar data implied by the stream names on the search console UI
yea seems like the other streams are just including additional dimensions. Since i am getting data on the date stream, I would think the other streams with additional dimension should have data as well. I can also view these data via filter (country, device, page etc) on the search console ui
s
@wp, I believe the connector was recently updated. Can you upgrade and see if the streams are returning properly?
w
using the updated connector 0.1.18 still not returning the streams with other dimensions, only the one with date. Attached is the log.
tested it using regular big query destination instead of the big query denormalized destination and got the same count from the same streams
I’ve tried custom report and am getting the same result as well. At this point i think it is probably a me issue.

Thanks for the reply @wp, I’ll take a look at the logs you posted above. It could be a you issue but one last thing you can try is using a different destination other than bigquery (maybe file connector?) and see if you still get the same streams. The fact that it’s a successful sync implies to me that there are genuinely no records for those streams but it could also be something going wrong with the destination.

I figured out the issue and it was indeed a me problem. The search console I was trying to use is set up as a domain property and for the
Website URL Property
it needs to be declared as
sc-domain:<http://website.com|website.com>
Hopefully the info could benefit others and to be included in the documentation. Thanks again for the assist. I am all set on this issue.
