Waiting jobs

We are investigating a problem with waiting orchestrations jobs.

We will update this post when we have more information.


UPDATE 12:02 AM PDT We have found and fixed the issue, waiting orchestrations are now starting.  

UPDATE 12:26 AM PDT All waiting jobs were processed. Everything should now be working normally. If you encounter some problem, please let us know.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Job failures

Today between 12:13 and 13:43 we had an error in one of our compontents, which caused some jobs to fail with message: 

Running container exceeded the timeout of 3600 seconds.

even if the job did not in fact exceed a timeout. Failed orchestrations have been restared. We are really sorry about this.

Google Calendar Extractor

I am very proud to announce that there is a new addition to the family of Keboola Extractors. This time it is Google Calendar Extractor.

It can download all your calendars available in your account with events and details. It is also usable for downloading Google's calendars with all national holidays as well. 

This extractor is a result of cooperation between Prague and Singapore Keboola. In case of questions or need to clarify something, please, contact vokurka@keboola.com.

Mailkit Extractor

I am proud to announce the launch of a new Keboola Connection component - the Mailkit extractor.

With this component you can easily download all valuable insights about your e-mail campaigns provided by this powerful e-mail marketing tool.

Simple configuration supporting the new generic UI based on the configuration schema makes it easy and comfortable to set up. You can simply choose datasets you are interested in or let the component download all of them. The time range of retrieved data can be easily set by specifying either relative period or you can set the period based on the last run of a configuration, which is especially useful in orchestration scenarios. 

The component is developed as 3rd party extension. For more information on configuration, please refer to the documentation. In case of any issues or questions, please contact me at esnerda@gmail.com.

P.S. The Mailkit Writer component to accompany this one is coming soon, so stay tuned.

Database Extractor Configuration Migration

As we have announced earlier, we have launched a bunch of new DB extractors, supporting various vendors. The "old" Database Extractor became deprecated and as we promised, we've prepared a tool for you, to help you migrate your configurations to the new extractors.

To initiate migration, click "Proceed to Migration" button in any configuration of the "old" Database Extractor.

A dialog window will open, where you will see what configuration will be migrated, status of the migration and also affected orchestrations.

If you need any assistance, contact support@keboola.com.

Pingdom Extractor

We've launched a new extractor for Pingdom.

This extractor will fetch data collected by the Pingdom service about your web application's uptime and performance metrics. This allows you to directly examine your application's performance and what effects that may have on your campaigns, sales activities, or other business metrics.

Detailed descriptions of the data structure and a guide to help get you started are available in the KBC User Documentation.
