Troubleshooting

No data appears in Guardian

Check:

Host/IP and port are correct
Path/topic/directory is correct
Protocol selected on camera matches intended endpoint
Camera can reach target over network

Intermittent delivery

Check:

Retry interval settings
Event burst rate vs endpoint capacity
Network packet loss or unstable link

HTTP issues

Wrong method (should typically be POST)
Incorrect path
Protocol mismatch (HTTP vs HTTPS)

SFTP issues

Wrong remote directory
File naming does not match ingestion expectation
Server-side write restrictions

MQTT issues

Wrong topic string
Broker port mismatch
QoS/retain settings inconsistent with deployment expectation

Debug workflow

Confirm camera configuration values exactly
Trigger a single known test event
Check transport-level success (request/file/publish)
Confirm Guardian ingestion result
Repeat with protocol-specific logging enabled
