Verify log syncing
Atlan sends logs to Google Cloud Logs Explorer. Log Router then syncs logs from Log Explorer to your destination. New sinks to Cloud Storage buckets may take several hours to start routing log entries. Cloud Storage sinks are processed hourly, while other destination types are processed in real time. Monitor your destination to confirm logs are being received.
