For ingestion health monitoring, which approach provides the best visibility into throughput and parsing errors?

• A. Configure silent source notifications.
• B. Create a dedicated monitoring dashboard showing throughput and parsing errors.
• C. Export a monthly report.
• D. Disable streaming ingestion.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is gaining real-time visibility into ingestion health by combining key metrics in a single view. You want to see how much data is flowing through the system (throughput) and where problems are happening (parsing errors). A dedicated monitoring dashboard that shows throughput alongside parsing errors gives you a live, centralized picture: it highlights load levels, helps you spot spikes, and flags data that can’t be parsed, which points to data quality or schema issues. With this setup you can set alerts, compare current performance to historical trends, and quickly drill down to problematic sources or time frames to diagnose and fix issues.

Silent source notifications won’t provide visibility and could suppress important signals. A monthly export is too infrequent to catch bursts or sudden parsing failures. Disabling streaming ingestion eliminates the very capability you’re trying to monitor.
