Run an Event Integrity Check
Select > .
An Event Integrity Check looks for verification events received within the specified date range. To reduce the chance of false-negative results, the check also searches for base events outside of the specified date range. For example, you specify a date range of 29 May to 5 June. The check finds several verification events within the date range; however, Verification Event A was created on 29 May and includes base events that occurred on 28 May. To prevent the verification event from failing, the system will expand the search for base events beyond the specified dates.
You can run one check at a time only. If the button is disabled, a check is running currently. The system provides a update for the actively running check, as well as a showing when the check began and its specified date range.
Note: The check process can take a long time if it includes large amounts of data. Therefore you should run the check during off-peak hours, and limit the date range to include only the data that you are interested in.
If you are running large jobs, or if your system resources are limited, you might consider disabling the and reducing and values. For more information, see Configuring the Deployed Capabilities

The Start Time for the check corresponds to the time when you select . For example, 5:29 pm.
If the start and end dates encompass a time when the database is receiving events, it's possible to get a Missing Events notification. This occurs because the integrity check finds the verification events before ingesting their associated base events. We recommend that you avoid running the check against events currently being ingested by the database. -
