10 min Company administrator Updated
Objective

Know how to read the state of a source and recognize, from the nature of a failure, what to fix and where.

The steps

  1. On Settings › Integration, find the source card under Connected sources.
  2. Read its state and the time of its last collection. If it failed, open its logs: Naoshift gives the nature of the problem there.
  3. Fix it according to the table below, then run Collect again.

The states of a source

State What it means
Connected The last collection succeeded
Collecting… The collector is working
Waiting for first collection The source has just been declared
Partial Part of the data could not be read, the rest is there
Failed The collection did not complete
Collector offline The problem is on the collector side, not the source

Once the collection succeeds, open the dashboard: your data is there.

If you get stuck

NatureWhat it meansWhat to do
Certificate rejectedThe server answered, the collector refused its certificate.Install the authority on the collector host, pin the fingerprint where the connector offers it, or disable TLS verification on the connector.
Server unreachableThe collector did not reach the server.Check the name, the port and network filtering between the collector and the target. The address must start with https://.
Credentials rejectedThe server refused the account.Check the account, its format and its role on the target. Beware of lockouts after repeated failures.
Insufficient rightsThe account is recognized, its role does not cover everything.Grant it a read-only role over the whole scope.
