# Monitoring the import status from the Snowball Edge
<a name="monitor-status"></a>

To monitor the status of your import job in the console, sign in to the [Amazon Snow Family Management Console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/snowfamily/home) in the Amazon Web Services Region where the job was created. Choose the job you want to track from the table, or search for it by your chosen parameters in the search bar above the table. After you select the job, detailed information appears for that job within the table, including a bar that shows real-time status of your job.

**Note**  
If we are unable to import data to our data centers from the Snow device due to any issue with access permissions you have configured, we will attempt to notify you and you will have 30 days from the date we provide the notification to resolve the issue. If the issue is not resolved, we may cancel your Snowball Edge job and delete data from the device.

After your device arrives at Amazon, your job status changes from **In transit to Amazon** to **At Amazon**. On average, it takes a day for your data import into Amazon S3 to begin. When it does, the status of your job changes to **Importing**. It will take approximately the same amount of time for Amazon to import your data from the Snowball Edge as it did for you to move it to the Snowball Edge. After your data is imported, the job status changes to **Completed** status.

Now your first data import job into Amazon S3 using Amazon Snowball Edge is complete. You can get a report about the data transfer from the console. To access this report from the console, select the job from the table, and expand it to reveal the job's detailed information. Choose **Get report** to download your job completion report as a PDF file. For more information, see [Getting your data transfer job completion report and logs](report.md).
