Troubleshooting

When working with integrations, you might encounter the following issues.

SSL certificate errors

Search Sidekiq logs in Kibana

To locate a specific integration in Kibana, use the following KQL search string:

`json.integration_class.keyword : "Integrations::Jira" and json.project_path : "path/to/project"`

You can find information in:

  • json.exception.backtrace
  • json.exception.class
  • json.exception.message
  • json.message

Test Failed. Save Anyway error

When you configure an integration on an uninitialized repository, the integration might fail with a Test Failed. Save Anyway error. This error occurs because the integration uses push data to build the test payload when the project does not have push events.

To resolve this issue, initialize the repository by pushing a test file to the project and configure the integration again.
