airbyte failing when selecting streams
u
If you're experiencing issues when selecting streams in Airbyte, there could be several reasons for this. Here are a few potential issues and their solutions: 1. Schema Changes: If a breaking schema change is detected, the connection will be paused immediately for manual review to prevent future syncs from failing. Breaking changes occur when an existing primary key or cursor is removed from the source. To resolve this, you need to manually review and resolve the detected schema changes. You can do this by navigating to the Schema tab of the affected connection in the Airbyte UI and ensuring your cursor and primary key are selected for each stream. After making the necessary changes, click Save changes to apply them to the next sync ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/using-airbyte/schema-change-management#review-detected-breaking-schema-changes)). 2. Configuration Errors: If the failure is due to a configuration error, Airbyte recommends navigating to the related source or destination to re-test and save before attempting another sync ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/review-connection-status#connection-troubleshooting)). 3. System Errors: These can range from transient errors to warnings from the source (e.g., rate limits). These types of errors usually resolve themselves without any action required ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/review-connection-status#connection-troubleshooting)). 4. Rate-Limited Syncs: If a source is being rate-limited by Airbyte trying to extract data, an informational message will be displayed. Airbyte will not continue attempting to sync until the rate limit is lifted ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/cloud/managing-airbyte-cloud/review-connection-status#connection-troubleshooting)). If none of these solutions work, it might be helpful to check the logs for any error messages or warnings that could provide more insight into the issue. If you're still having trouble, consider reaching out to the Airbyte community or support for further assistance.
