We are excited to announce the Public Preview for exporting your Sync Health Reports data! This feature allows you to seamlessly integrate with other datasets like Azure Active Directory (AAD), Exchange, and Teams to create actionable insights and to automate your workflows. 

What are the OneDrive Sync Health Reports? 

When managing the health and data of hundreds or thousands of desktops in your organization, it can be challenging to know if your users are syncing their content to the cloud and that their data is protected. That’s where the Sync Health Reports come in. 

The OneDrive Sync Health Reports dashboard provides insights into the health of the devices in your organization so you can proactively maintain your organization’s information and data. These health reports contain information for individual devices including if important folders are being backed up, if any sync errors have occurred, and if there are any health issues or advisories that need attention. These insights can help you easily address issues and ensure your users’ files are protected and synchronizing with the cloud. 

How does export work for the OneDrive Sync Health Reports? 

The data is exported via Microsoft Graph Data Connect, enabling seamless integration with other datasets such as Azure Active Directory (AAD), Exchange, and Teams data. This integration opens the door to actionable insights and automation that can transform how you manage OneDrive sync health across your organization. 

Some of the valuable questions you can answer using the exported data are: 

• How many devices have opted into Known Folder Move (KFM)? 


• Which folders are most selected for Known Folder Move (KFM)? 


• What is the breakdown of unhealthy devices by OS version? 


• What is the breakdown of unhealthy devices by OneDrive Sync client version? 


• Is the device for user X reporting as healthy? 


• How many devices are showing errors? 


• Which types of errors are making most devices unhealthy? 


• Which devices are showing a specific error? 


• What are the errors occurring on a specific device? 

Benefits at a Glance 

• Comprehensive insights and actionable data: Get a holistic view of sync health across all devices and also join with other datasets for in-depth analysis and actionable insights.
