How to monitor knowledge base sync status with your AI

Connect your Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base to your agent to track data ingestion. You can check if your documents are ready without opening the AWS console.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

How can I see if my knowledge base is synced?

Ask your agent to check your ingestion jobs or list your data sources. It pulls the current status from Amazon Bedrock so you know when your data is ready. You'll see exactly which jobs are running or finished.

What you can track

Status visibility

Your agent pulls real-time data from your knowledge base to keep you updated.

STATUS

Track ingestion progress

The AI checks the status of your ingestion jobs. You'll know if a sync is still running or if it finished successfully.

INVENTORY

List data sources

Get a list of all data sources currently connected. This confirms which buckets or files your agent is actually reading.

ERRORS

Spot sync failures

If a job fails, the agent reports the status. You'll get clear info on which ingestion attempts didn't complete.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI can't fix broken data or restart a failed job. You'll need to handle those fixes in the AWS console.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for a status update.

The agent handles the AWS API calls so you don't have to.

  1. Fetch job history

    The agent pulls a list of recent ingestion attempts to see what happened with your latest data.

    list_ingestion_jobs

  2. Check job state

    It looks at the specific status of each job to see if it is still in progress or completed.

    list_ingestion_jobs

  3. Verify sources

    The agent retrieves the list of all configured data sources to confirm your knowledge base is correctly linked.

    list_data_sources

  4. Summarize status

    The agent translates the raw AWS data into a plain English update for you.

FAQ

How the monitoring works

  • 01

    Can the AI restart a failed ingestion job?

    No. The AI can only report the status. You have to trigger a new ingestion manually in AWS.

  • 02

    Can the AI add new data sources?

    No. The AI can list existing sources, but it cannot create or modify them.

  • 03

    Does the AI see updates in real time?

    Yes. The agent queries the Bedrock API every time you ask, so you get the latest status.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete my data sources?

    No. This MCP only has permission to list jobs and sources. It cannot delete anything.

  • 05

    Can I see error messages through the AI?

    Yes. The agent can pull the status from ingestion jobs to tell you if a job failed.
