OOTB Plug-In and LDAP

Question

Hello: We are using the OOTB plugin (LDAP User Profile Synchronization) to Sync users from Active Directory to Appian. I'm wondering, is there any information Appian keeps in the log files: like which user records have been processed/failed? Ideally, we want to get a list of UIDs, usernames which failed to sync with Appian from AD. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. 
 
 Cheers.

Hi - 
 
Data describing the users that failed to synch is available through the "Users Failed" output parameter of the LDAP Synch smart service. 
(When viewing the smart service inside the process modeler, navigate to Data > Outputs, and see Users Failed) 
 
This parameter can be mapped to a process variable (PV). Once captured in a PV, a designer has various options for "logging" the data. These include: 
* Persisting the data to a database. 
* Writing the data to a text file (using the Text Doc from Template smart service), and then (a) reference the text file within Appian, or (b) email the text file to an administrator for review. 
* etc. 
 
Unfortunately, data about users failed to synch is not written to any specific log file.
