The Activation Toolkit is a set of services that lets ISVs onboard their platform as an activation destination in Data 360 using metadata. The metadata defines the configuration for the destination, including the authentication type and connector fields. Data 360 uses it to set up the activation target, the authenticated connection, and the activation experience for customers.

 Standardizing Data Cloud Observability: Unified Operational Dashboard Idea  

Hi Trailblazers! 👋

As Data Cloud implementations scale, keeping track of everything happening under the hood—from Data Streams and DMOs to Identity Resolution, Calculated Insights, and Data Transforms—often requires jumping across multiple setup screens.

To help streamline administration and governance, I posted an idea on the IdeaExchange for a Centralized Data Cloud Operational Dashboard.

The goal is to bring a single-pane-of-glass view to Data Cloud for:

• Artifact Inventory: Streams, DLOs, DMOs, and IR Rules.
• Process & Schedules: Execution statuses and next runs for CIs and Transforms.
• Data Flow: Clear view of incoming ingestion and outgoing activations.
• Centralized Logging: Real-time error and execution logs across all processes for faster troubleshooting.
• Governance & AI: Quick visibility into Data Spaces, security policies, and deployed AI models.

Would a feature like this make managing your Data Cloud org easier?

If you’d like to see this capability natively in Salesforce, please check out the idea and drop a vote/comment!
