Stitch periodically performs checks on the connection to your destination to ensure the connection remains active and healthy. Below are some of the most common errors you might see if Stitch has trouble performing the connection check to your destination and how to resolve them.


Common Errors

What it Means

Stitch encountered an error when attempting to ‘talk’ to your destination.

Troubleshooting
  • Verify that the hostname entered in the Destination Settings page is correct.

    For Redshift and Postgres-RDS: check that the port has been removed from the end of the hostname string.

  • Verify that the port setting entered in the Destination Settings page is correct.

  • Verify that Stitch’s IP addresses (see below) are whitelisted.

    For Redshift and Postgres-RDS: Check that the Security Group and VPC Subnet associated with the database allows access from all Stitch’s IP addresses.

    • 52.23.137.21/32
    • 52.204.223.208/32
    • 52.204.228.32/32
    • 52.204.230.227/32
What it Means

The destination type doesn’t match the destination you selected in Stitch.

For example: you select Redshift in Stitch, but we detect that it’s actually a PostgreSQL destination.

Troubleshooting

Verify that you’ve selected the correct destination type. If the incorrect destination type was chosen, select the correct destination type and try completing the setup again.

What it Means

Something went wrong during the communication with the database.

Troubleshooting

This is a transient error and should clear itself during the next re-sync.

What it Means

The credentials that Stitch has for your destination are incorrect.

Troubleshooting

Verify that the correct password for the user Stitch is using to connect to the destination is entered in the Destination Settings page of Stitch.

What it Means

The connection timed out before Stitch could successfully establish a connection.
