# Monitor Synchronize Progress

When a NiFi Ingest Connector (`Get*` processor) is synchronizing with a data repository, you can view a summary of its progress through the advanced configuration interface.

This feature is available only for connectors that support progress reporting.

To monitor synchronize progress

1. Right-click the IDOL NiFi Ingest processor and click View Configuration.
2. Click Advanced.

3. Click the Progress tab.

   The progress summary is displayed.

   - The overall progress is displayed at the top of the summary.
   - You can see the progress for each stage. With the File System Connector each stage represents a directory, but connectors use whatever is appropriate to the data repository. An Exchange Connector would divide the task into mailboxes and folders, and a SharePoint Connector would show sites and lists.
   - The indicators below each stage show the proportion of the total task that is represented by that stage. These indicators are generated based on the number of items that the connector must process. With the File System Connector each item is a file. The size of each item is not considered.
