FAQ

How can I troubleshoot connection issues if the Operations Console does not load?

We use server-sent events (SSEs) to provide real-time updates. It is possible that your security or IT team uses a proxy/software to block these requests. If you encounter issues loading the Operations Console, please verify with your IT department whether SSEs are handled by proxies or third party software (like antivirus/plugins), and request that they evaluate and enable our main SSE endpoint: /api/v1/opsconsole/incident_module/search.
