Monitor and troubleshoot a Journey
Once your Journey is published, you can monitor its activity, understand where profiles are, and investigate unexpected results.
DinMo provides three complementary views:
The Journey canvas shows the latest known distribution of profiles.
The Activity panel provides detailed metrics for a selected step.
Run history provides information about each execution of the Journey.
Monitor the current state
The Journey canvas displays the number of profiles currently associated with each step.
Select a step and open the Activity tab to view its detailed metrics:
Entered: profiles that reached the step.
Current state: profiles whose latest known position is this step.
Advanced: profiles that completed the step and continued through the Journey.
Exited here: profiles that left the Journey while they were at this step.
These metrics help you understand how profiles progress through the Journey and identify steps where they may be waiting or exiting.
The timestamp displayed in the panel indicates when the current state was last updated.
Understand activity notices
The Activity panel may display a notice instead of, or alongside, the metrics:
No successful run: the Journey has not completed a successful run yet.
Run in progress: the latest run is scheduled, queued, or running. The displayed current state may not include its results yet.
Latest run failed: the current state still reflects the previous successful run.
Partial activity data: some earlier executions are not included in the displayed metrics.
Statistics unavailable: activity metrics could not be calculated for the selected step.
Use the notice and the last-updated timestamp before drawing conclusions from the figures.
Review the run history
When Run history is available in your workspace, open it from the Journey header to review previous executions.
For each run, you can see:
Started: when the execution started.
Version: the Journey version used for the execution.
Mode: the type of execution. Test executions are identified as simulations.
Status: whether the run is scheduled, queued, running, successful, or failed.
Entered: profiles that entered the Journey during the run.
Advanced: profiles that progressed to another step.
Exited: profiles that left the Journey.
Finished: profiles that reached the end of a path.
Actions: actions executed by Activate steps.
A dash means that the information was not reported for that run, which may be the case for some earlier executions.
A successful run means that the Journey completed without an execution error. It does not necessarily mean that profiles entered the Journey, progressed, or triggered an action.
For example, a successful run with no new entries may simply mean that no profile matched the entry rules at that time.
Investigate unexpected behavior
Start with the symptom you observe, then compare the Journey canvas, the selected step's Activity panel, and the run history.
No profiles entered the Journey
Check that:
The latest run completed successfully.
Enrollment is open and the Journey is not paused.
The entry rules match profiles in the source model.
The source data was refreshed before the Journey ran.
You are reviewing the version used by the latest run.
If re-entry is allowed, also check that the configured re-entry delay has elapsed.
Profiles are not progressing
Select the step where profiles are currently located and open its Activity tab.
Profiles may legitimately remain at a:
Wait step until its duration has elapsed.
Pause Until step until the expected event occurs or the timeout is reached.
Also check whether the Journey is paused or whether its latest run is still in progress.
Fewer actions were executed than expected
Check that profiles:
Entered the Journey.
Reached the relevant Activate step.
Did not exit at an earlier step.
Matched the branch leading to that action.
Then verify the Activate step configuration and inspect the latest run for a failure or error details.
Activity figures appear outdated
Check:
The timestamp of the latest successful run.
Whether another run is currently in progress.
Whether the latest run failed.
Whether the Activity panel reports partial or unavailable statistics.
Which Journey version was used for the execution.
The canvas and Activity panel may continue to show the previous successful state while a newer run is running or after it has failed.
A run failed
Open the failed run and review its error details when they are available.
Record the following information before investigating or contacting support:
The execution date and time.
The Journey version.
The error code and message.
Investigate the cause before triggering another run, as the same configuration may produce the same failure again.
Resolve validation issues
Before publication, select View errors to open the validation panel. Selecting an issue helps you locate the related step on the canvas.
Validation issues are divided into two categories:
Error
Blocks publication
Resolve it before publishing
Warning
Does not block publication, but identifies a potential risk
Review it and confirm that the behavior is intentional
Common blocking errors include:
A missing custom Journey name.
A Start step without a configured entry audience or event.
An incomplete step configuration.
A branch that does not end with a Stop step.
An invalid Journey structure or exit rule.
Warnings can highlight designs that are valid but may need additional review. For example, DinMo may warn you when:
The same destination is used in multiple Activate steps.
A Segment step contains only one group.
A path contains a long or unusual sequence of Wait steps.
A branch contains no Activate step.
Re-entry is enabled without a delay before the first activation.
After correcting an issue, review the validation panel again. Resolving one configuration problem may reveal another issue elsewhere in the Journey.
