Test connection fails for a data source
Section titled “Test connection fails for a data source”- Check the host name and port.
- Check the connector host can reach the data source. A firewall between them is the most common cause.
- Check the read-only account and password are correct.
Single sign-on fails
Section titled “Single sign-on fails”- Check the Entity ID and Reply URL match exactly, including your organisation ID.
- Check the user’s email in your IdP matches their email in Acme.
- Sign in with an Owner account that uses a password to review the SSO settings.
Window Wiper Insight
Section titled “Window Wiper Insight”| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| A wiper never shows as Reporting | The wiper cannot reach the connector. | Check TCP 8883 is open from the wiper to the connector host and that port 8883 is published in your connector settings. |
| The pairing code is rejected | The code expired or was already used. | Select Generate pairing code again and enter the new code. |
| A wiper shows Learning for a long time | Acme needs about 14 days of data. | Wait, and check the wiper keeps reporting. Gaps in reports extend the learning period. |
| No alert emails arrive | No recipients are set, or emails are filtered. | Check Features > Window Wiper Insight > Alerts and allow mail from support@acme-service.example. |
See Window Wiper Insight for setup steps.
