Auto-Disable Behavior
To prevent wasted API calls on broken configurations, monitors automatically disable after 5 consecutive failures.
How Auto-Disable Works
| Failure Count | Action |
|---|---|
| 1-4 failures | Error logged, counter incremented, monitor continues |
| 5 failures | Monitor is automatically disabled (is_active = false) |
Re-Enabling a Disabled Monitor
- Fix the underlying issue (re-authenticate, restore folder, etc.)
- Navigate to the monitor in the monitor list
- Toggle the switch to resume monitoring
- The failure counter resets to 0
Best Practices
- Check monitors periodically for error states before they auto-disable
- Re-authenticate sources if OAuth tokens expire (delete and reconnect)
- Verify folder permissions if you see access errors
- Monitor fewer folders with more files rather than many folders with few files
