A quick check of the FCOM suggests it's 6R, ACARS/PRINT FUNCTION. This brings up the list of automatically sent reports. They're customisable but if you print one you'll be able to see what's sent.

Fleet dependent of course; but our FDM folks told us they can see ow many tines each Lav flushes on their iPhones.... as far as the exposed FMGS reports; there's much more there that in the Flight Crew UI....
Previous operator had the normal FOQA collection routine, as well as immediate triggers for certain events.. I believe unstable approach was one of them. Engines stream realtime data too.
Anyone flying neos can attest to the constant ACARS data bursts over VHF. -
