This page is for Directory Sync. If you're using Google Cloud Directory Sync (GCDS), go to GCDS. Directory Sync is currently in public beta.
After you simulate or run a synchronization with Directory Sync, you can review Admin and Directory Sync log events to verify configuration changes and check if an event occurred. For example, you can review updates to users and groups after a sync.
