Error types

Failed events are placed into replay queue groups, based on the reason, so that they can be individually managed and prioritized for fixing or replaying.

These are the error type groups:

  • Connectivity
  • Data type
  • Data validation
  • Schema
  • Unknown error
  • Discard only

Records that have a Discard only error type cannot be replayed as attempting delivery again would not solve the issue.
