Internal error

What it means

Something went wrong inside Auto while it handled the request. The error doesn't say what, but Auto logged it under a reference you can quote. The request may or may not have taken effect.

What to do

Read the problem's detail first. It says what happened to this request.

  • Before you send the request again, check whether it took effect, for example by reading the playbook or the run.
  • When you report the problem, include the instance and the x-request-id header. Don't share credentials or confidential input.
  • If you run the runtime yourself, search its log for either id. The error is logged under "incident":"<id>".
