Troubleshooting
Authentication or connection error
Authentication or connection error
Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Verify the username and password are correct and the account has not been locked in the Avigilon ACC (Avigilon Control Center) system.
Webhook data not arriving
Webhook data not arriving
Verify the webhook URL is correctly registered in the Avigilon ACC (Avigilon Control Center) platform. Check that the authentication header matches the value from the KODE OS connector detail page. Ensure the Avigilon ACC (Avigilon Control Center) system can reach the KODE OS webhook endpoint over the network.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Avigilon ACC (Avigilon Control Center) system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Data collection stops or gaps appear
Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the Avigilon ACC (Avigilon Control Center) API.
