Compliance Glossary for Confluence

How are connector failures shown?

Production contracts keep connector failure causes separate. They distinguish permission revocation, source deletion, source unavailability, replay, lag, partial batches, rate limiting, disabled connectors, and failed jobs. The current GitHub terminology workflow shows job and finding states. Generic connector health contracts should not be presented as enabled provider integrations.

How it works

  1. Open Git Connector.
  2. Review Recent asynchronous jobs.
  3. Identify the exact job outcome.
  4. Check repository access and allowed paths.
  5. Resolve retryable causes before running another scan.
  6. Keep partial or unavailable evidence visible in downstream review.

Example

A GitHub scan loses repository permission after it is queued. The job does not appear as a clean result. Its failure remains separate from a scan that completed with no findings. Leadership can distinguish access loss from genuine zero-findings evidence.

What this does not mean

Failure contracts do not make every generic connector production-enabled. The current user-visible connector workflow is GitHub terminology checking. Public provider claims must match runtime wiring and the deployed manifest.
