What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Kingdon Diagnostics reported the Salesforce connector stopped syncing records on 25 Nov 2025. Connector showed authentication errors. Root cause was an API key rotation not reflected in connector config. Resolved 11 Dec 2025.
Problem: Connector dead with authentication error and no records indexed since the failure date. Root cause: API key rotated but connector config not updated.
Handling: Bethan Lister first response in 583 minutes (about 9.7 hours). Leanne Armstrong confirmed the cause. Resolution took 16 days from creation to solved date.
Watch: Long resolution time suggests delayed customer action or backend work. Connector sync issues tied to customer system changes need proactive credential management.

- created · Leanne Armstrong 25 Nov 2025 11:54One of our connectors appears to have stopped loading records. The last sync was at 14:30 on 25 Nov 2025. The logs show 'authentication failed' but we haven't changed anything on our end. Can you take a look?
- Public reply · Bethan Lister 25 Nov 2025 21:37Just so I've got this right, the connector failed with an authentication error around 14:30. Can you tell me which system it connects to, and whether you've made any recent changes to the credentials? Thanks, Bethan
- Public reply · Leanne Armstrong 27 Nov 2025 10:23It's the Salesforce connector. We rotated our API key last week, but the connector config should have been updated. Let me check with our admin.
