Overview

Atlas Device Sync creates sync logs whenever a user interacts with Sync. This includes writing data to Atlas App Services from clients, reading changes from App Services to clients, and starting or ending a connection.

Connections

Every user communicates with App Services using a connection. Each connection uses a single websocket to push and pull information to and from a single user. Logging in a user using any authentication provider starts a connection. Logging out that user ends the connection.

Sessions

Users download and upload changes to a synced realm using a session. Instantiating a local instance of a synced realm starts a session. Destroying that realm object ends the session.

MongoDB Atlas Sync Events

Every sync event is associated with a user identity that tells you exactly which user caused the event to occur. However, you may notice some sync events that aren't associated with any specific user. These events include downloaded changes from all clients as well as as well as any change made in MongoDB Atlas. Any sync event that does not include a user ID is part of the MongoDB Atlas data synchronization process. You may see a large number of MongoDB Atlas synchronization events when you initialize sync if your cluster already contains a large amount of data.
