Introduction

When using the dashboards, end-users may encounter error messages. This page is designed to provide an explanation about why the error occurred and what can be done to prevent it occurring again. The page is divided into three separate sections:

  • Error messages for the standalone Health Dashboard deployment
  • Error messages for the standalone Engineering Dashboard deployment
  • Error messages for the combined Health Dashboard / Engineering Dashboard deployment
