Recent AutoTask Errors

We’re getting 2 kinds of errors.

The first is: looks like we got no XML document got the first few 3 days ago, then another 2 days ago, and then dozens last night.
Example:https://console.mspintegrations.com/email2at/advanced/history/1765423093222002vmrv

The second, which only started last night and also had dozens (immediately following the no XML errors) is simply ‘Not Found’
Example:https://console.mspintegrations.com/email2at/advanced/history/1765424833943002zxiz

This happened between 1014 and 1024pm last night… strangely, the API history in AT doesn’t even show these calls. Earlier steps in the ticket processing were able to query the API and return data, and then failed in later steps, so i would expect to see some calls being logged:

That gap didn’t appear on the other nights with the no XML errors and I found the corresponding error on the API history side with the same text.

It seems to sort itself out after a bit, but wondering what might be going on? Thoughts?

I got these the last couple of nights as well.

Thanks for reporting this!

These errors are caused when Autotask is offline, as Autotask has been a number of times for pre-planned maintenance over the past few weeks.

We did recently add logic to MSPintegrations to elegantly handle outages from Autotask, but that is apparently not working in every circumstance. Thanks for providing the examples - we’re going to review the specifics and ensure the system works as intended the next time Autotask is unavailable.

When this is working as designed, you’ll see your MSPintegrations emails pause mid-way through until Autotask is available, and then they’ll pick right up where they left off.

This should be fixed. If you notice any further issues like this, I’d appreciate hearing about them. Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Travis,

We just received this error a few minutes ago.

An exception was encountered: looks like we got no XML document

Another one.

Just adding to the topic as it does look like AT was offline last night… i also received about 7 or 8 warnings about no XML document.
Here are a few IDs, just in case you need multiple examples:
(id 1771902856176000wws4)
(id 1771902871795000wwyv)
(id 1771903249610000x0gk)

Thanks, all, for continuing to report these. We’ve reviewed each and identified a few more edge-cases of how Autotask acts when it’s offline. It’s challenging to test these until Autotask is offline again, so we’ll push these updates and then wait and see if anything else falls through the cracks.

You are the best! Thanks for your support in pointing these out!

Exception Message:

Exception: looks like we got no XML document

Thanks! We have an update ready but didn’t get it out before this maintenance window. It should be live later today.

Thank you for continuing to give examples - these are very helpful!

Looks like the fix didn’t work, or there is yet another edge case.

Just got the error so it looks like AutoTask is having issues (again)

Thanks! We’ll give this another round and see what else we can button up in the logic.

Not sure if you still need examples but here is another one.
