Log Search Audit Unavailable

URI: https://docs.ankatech.co/errors/log-search-audit-unavailable
HTTP Status: 503 Service Unavailable

When you see this

Every platform log search is recorded in the platform audit trail before its result is returned. The record of this search could not be staged, so no log line is returned. A log search is answered only once the trail holds its record.

Common Causes

• The Admin API could not write its audit outbox (a database fault or contention).

  "title": "Log Search Audit Unavailable",
  "status": 503,

  }
}

How to Resolve

1. Retry after a short wait.
2. If it persists, check the Admin API's readiness and the System Health page: the condition audit.recording.failed reports a service that could not record audit events.
