03/12/2026, 6:06 PM"Internal Server Error: Invalid UUID string: ignore"
on the /api/v1/web_backend/connections/list endpoint is a known issue. Based on the knowledge sources, this type of 500 Internal Server Error can occur in self-hosted Airbyte deployments.
The specific message "Invalid UUID string: ignore" suggests that a field expected to contain a valid UUID is instead receiving the string "ignore" ā this is likely related to the nonBreakingSchemaUpdatesBehavior or a similar configuration field being set to "ignore" where a UUID is expected, or a misconfiguration in your connection/workspace settings.
The knowledge sources do not contain a detailed root cause analysis or fix specifically for this "Invalid UUID string: ignore" error. However, based on a similar case documented in the Airbyte community [Forum Post], the recommended steps are:
1. Upgrade to the latest version of Airbyte, as many such internal server errors are resolved in newer releases.
2. Check your connection configurations for any fields that may have been set to "ignore" where a UUID value is expected.
3. Review your Docker logs for more detailed stack traces that could pinpoint the exact source of the issue.
If the problem persists after upgrading, consider reporting it on the Airbyte GitHub Issues page with your full error details and Airbyte version. š 0 button š 0 button ā¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.kapa.ai
03/12/2026, 6:06 PM/api/v1/web_backend/connections/list endpoint.
One notable difference in this new error report is that the workspaceId field is empty (""). An empty string is not a valid UUID, which could itself be contributing to the server error.
The knowledge sources do not contain a specific documented fix for the "Invalid UUID string: ignore" error. However, based on what is available:
⢠A similar 500 error on /api/v1/web_backend/connections/list was reported during an Airbyte upgrade (from 0.40.17 to 0.50.1), and the stack trace pointed to issues in WebBackendConnectionsHandler. [Forum Post]
⢠Another 500 error on the same endpoint was caused by a duplicate key issue, and upgrading to the latest Airbyte version was the recommended resolution. [Forum Post]
Suggested steps:
1. Ensure a valid workspaceId is being passed ā the empty string in your request ("workspaceId": "") is not a valid UUID and should be replaced with the correct workspace UUID.
2. Upgrade Airbyte to the latest version, as 500 errors on this endpoint have historically been resolved in newer releases.
3. Check your Airbyte server logs for a more detailed stack trace to identify the exact source of the "Invalid UUID string: ignore" message.
The knowledge sources do not provide further detail on the root cause of this specific error message beyond what is noted above. š 0 button š 0 button ā¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Salman Khan

03/12/2026, 6:08 PM/api/v1/web_backend/connections/list for Airbyte version 1.4.1 specifically.
Based on what the knowledge sources do cover, here are the general troubleshooting steps that have helped users with similar 500 errors on this endpoint:
1. Ensure a valid workspaceId is passed ā your request shows an empty workspaceId (""), which is not a valid UUID. Make sure the correct workspace UUID is being sent in the request body.
2. Restart the Airbyte server ā a contributor noted that a cache problem caused a similar 500 error, and restarting the airbyte-server container resolved it. [GitHub Issue]
3. Refresh the webapp ā if you restarted Airbyte at any point, the webapp may be holding an outdated workspace UUID. Restarting or refreshing the webapp ensures it picks up the correct workspace UUID. [Forum Post]
4. Check server logs ā review the airbyte-server container logs for a more detailed stack trace to identify the exact source of the "Invalid UUID string: ignore" message.
Beyond these steps, the knowledge sources do not provide a version-specific fix for Airbyte 1.4.1. If the issue persists, I'd recommend reporting it on the Airbyte GitHub Issues page with your full error details and version number. š 0 button š 0 button ā¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.eknazar adv

is related to the connector-sidecar being unable to write output to the Airbyte Workload API server. This is a known issue in Airbyte OSS deployments.
Based on the knowledge sources, the underlying cause is that the connector-sidecar fails to communicate with the workload API server, resulting in a DocStoreAccessException. The stack trace typically looks like:
DocStoreAccessException: Unable to write output for <workload-id>
at io.airbyte.workers.workload.WorkloadOutputWriter.writeOutputThroughServer(WorkloadOutputWriter.kt:86)
at io.airbyte.workers.workload.WorkloadOutputWriter.write(WorkloadOutputWriter.kt:65)
at io.airbyte.connectorSidecar.ConnectorWatcher.saveConnectorOutput(ConnectorWatcher.kt:187)
This is linked to the connector-sidecar not receiving the necessary authentication tokens to communicate with the workload API server. [GitHub Issue]
Potential workaround (for Kubernetes deployments):
If you are using Kubernetes with Helm, some users have reported that ensuring the following environment variables are properly configured can help:
⢠API_AUTHORIZATION_ENABLED=true in the ConfigMap
⢠WORKLOAD_API_AUTH_HEADER and WORKLOAD_API_BEARER_TOKEN properly set
However, there is a known limitation where these tokens may not propagate to connector-sidecar containers. [GitHub Issue]
The knowledge sources do not provide a definitive fix specific to Airbyte version 1.4.1 for this error. I'd recommend checking the related GitHub issue [GitHub Issue] for further updates and workarounds from the community. š 0 button š 0 button ā¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.eknazar adv

03/13/2026, 3:11 PMAPI_AUTHORIZATION_ENABLED=true in the ConfigMap airbyte-airbyte-env was required to make the /api/v1/workload/{id}/output endpoint available (it was returning 404 before that). [GitHub Issue]
This suggests that the API_AUTHORIZATION_ENABLED flag affects endpoint availability, not just authentication enforcement. So even with authorization disabled, the connector-sidecar still needs to communicate with the Workload API server to write job output ā the two concerns (authorization and connectivity) appear to be separate.
The knowledge sources do not contain enough detail to confirm whether disabling authorization fully resolves the DocStoreAccessException / "Unable to persist the job Output" error in your specific setup. I'd recommend:
1. Verifying that API_AUTHORIZATION_ENABLED is correctly set in your ConfigMap.
2. Checking the connector-sidecar pod logs directly to confirm whether the error is still an auth-related 401/500, or a different connectivity issue.
3. Reviewing the open GitHub issue [GitHub Issue] for the latest community findings, as this is an ongoing known issue. š 0 button š 0 button ā¹ļø Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
