Common Rootly Errors and Solutions
- "Invalid API Key": This error indicates that the API key you provided during integration setup is incorrect or invalid.
- Solution: Double-check that you've entered the correct API key. If you've lost or forgotten your API key, you can regenerate a new one within your respective integration service (e.g., PagerDuty, Slack, etc.).
- "Monitor Configuration Error": This error suggests that there is a problem with the configuration of your monitor, preventing it from functioning correctly.
- Solution: Carefully review the monitor's settings, ensuring that all parameters (e.g., URL, API endpoint, frequency, thresholds) are correctly entered.
- Solution: If the error persists, try creating a new monitor to see if the issue is specific to the existing monitor configuration.
- "Alert Trigger Failure": This error occurs if the alert trigger is not functioning as intended and is not sending notifications as configured.
- Solution: Verify that the alert conditions (e.g., thresholds, status changes, custom conditions) are accurately set and align with your monitoring needs.
- Solution: Check the notification settings within the alert configuration to confirm that the correct channels (e.g., email, Slack, PagerDuty) are selected and that the target addresses/channels are valid.
- "Integration Connection Issue": This error indicates a problem connecting Rootly to the external service or tool you're trying to integrate with (e.g., Slack, PagerDuty, webhook).
- Solution: Check the integration settings to confirm that the connection is properly authorized and that the API keys or credentials are valid.
- Solution: Ensure that the external service is accessible and functioning properly. If you suspect a network issue, verify connectivity between Rootly and the external service.
- "Permission Error": This error might occur if your user account lacks the necessary permissions to perform a specific action within Rootly.
- Solution: Contact your Rootly administrator to request the required permissions for the task you're trying to complete.
