- Load Graph shows the total Events loaded to the Destination. Each bar represents the Events per Destination load. The bar can display two colors:
Light blue: Represents the historical (free) Events loaded to the Destination.
Dark blue: Represents the incremental (billable) Events loaded to the Destination.
8 Destination Tables List Displays the list of tables across all Sources integrated with the Destination and:

Note: Table view is not applicable for the S3 Destination. Table-level pending Events are not applicable to JDBC Destinations, such as, Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL and Aurora MySQL.

Note: A Warehouse in Activate is the data source from which data is synchronized with a Target object. On the other hand, data is loaded to a Destination from a Source.
