Error Handling¶
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Error Logging | Select | You can select one of the Error Logging options: - Don't log errors — the setting does not allow errors to be logged. It's suitable for environments where error tracking is not desired, such as production systems, to maintain clean logs. - Log error codes and responses — the setting records essential information, including error codes such as HTTP status codes, and the responses received from the server. It's useful for basic troubleshooting and understanding error contexts. - Log full errors and request payloads — the setting provides comprehensive error logging. It not only captures error codes and responses but also logs the complete error messages or details and the entire request payload sent to the server. Be cautious with this option, as it can expose sensitive data. It's most beneficial for in-depth debugging and diagnostics. |
| Abort Flow Execution on Error | Toggle | Halts Flow Execution on HTTP status codes greater than 299. |
