When using the data migration service, you can monitor the status of an individual user's migration in the Google Admin console. Alternatively, you can request a domain-level report during or after the migration.
You must be signed in as a super administrator for this task.

From the Admin console Home page, go to Data migration.
You can view the status of a specific user with the following methods.
Status column
The progress of an individual user's migration is listed in the user's Status column in the Migrations table.

When the migration finishes, the word Complete appears in the Status column. To view metrics about a migration, point to Complete in the Status column. A tooltip displays the following statistics:
