Troubleshooting

  • Activate button remains grayed out: Ensure all credential fields (Username, API Key, Monitor ID) are populated before activating.
  • Authentication error: Verify credentials are copied correctly with no leading or trailing spaces. Confirm your DomainTools subscription includes Iris Detect API access.
  • Feed remains inactive after activation: Allow up to 15 minutes for the initial data sync. Check feed health in Manage > Feeds.
