IV. Common issues

Invalid or missing API key

If you are unable to view any log in the UsageLog view page, it is likely that your API key is outdated or missing.

You should be able to find a valid API key in the KeePass. If you cannot find the key, or it does not work, please get in touch with a developer.

For security purpose, API keys are only valid for a certain time and new ones need to be generated once the validation period expires.

API timeout set too low

If you get exceptions similar to this one:

Code Block
Failed to send GetLogs request: One or more errors occurred. A task was canceled.

Then, it is likely that the configured ApiTimeout is too low. Try increasing it to a high value in the settings.
