FAQs + Tips and Tricks
How can I make sure my data is secure?
We have several items in place to keep your data safe. Check out our security article to see what steps you can take to keep control of your data.
Why is my connection returning a ETIMEOUT error?
This usually means that the IP addresses are not yet whitelisted, or the host, port, database name, or login creds are incorrect. Double check and try again.
Why is my query taking a long time to load?
If you know that your query is going to return a large amount of data we recommend trying to limit the time range and filter the data as much as possible by using a summary query.
