Connection statuses - SourceMedium

Each data source has one status summarizing setup, credential access, and data delivery. Use it to decide whether you need to act.

Status	What it means	What to do
Connected	The connection is authorized and no issue needs your attention.	Nothing to do.
Extracting	The connection is authorized, and SourceMedium is preparing data extraction.	Nothing to do. SourceMedium will update the status when extraction is ready.
Syncing	SourceMedium is actively loading or backfilling data.	Nothing to do. Check again after the sync finishes.
Setting up	The connection exists, but a setup step is not complete.	Open the connection page; it shows the next step if one is yours.
Validating	A credential was saved but has not been verified against the source yet.	Wait for validation to finish; it becomes Connected on success.
Degraded	Data is still arriving, but more slowly than expected.	Do not reconnect. SourceMedium monitors this status.
Needs attention	The source needs attention, but reconnecting it yourself is not the next step.	Open the connection for details. SourceMedium will show whether it is handling the issue or needs information from you.
Needs reconnection	SourceMedium cannot use the current credentials, or setup was not completed.	Open the connection and use its reconnect or setup action.
Idle	The source is not expected to deliver data now, or another connection covers it.	Nothing to do unless you expected this source to be active.
Disconnected	The connection was deactivated and is not syncing.	Reconnect the source if you want its data flowing again.
