Relevance Module Troubleshooting

Contents

This page describes common problems with the Relevance Module and how to solve them.

• I added the Relevance Module to my project but it's not working properly
• No visitor data is being collected
• Realtime tab in Audiences perspectives shows message "Could not read . The server returned status code 500 (Internal Server Error)."
• Relevance REST service returns 500 Internal Server Error
• The Trends tab does not contain any data
• The persona property "comes from" only provides two locations (Amsterdam, NL and Cambridge, US).

Common Problems

I added the Relevance Module to my project but it's not working or not working properly

Verify that all required Maven dependencies have been added to the project.

Verify that the data stores have been configured correctly.

No visitor data is being collected

Verify that the collectors are configured correctly.

You may want to add the Collectors Bundle to configure more collectors in your project.

Use the Relevance REST services to verify that visitor data is being collected.

Realtime tab in Audiences perspectives shows message "Could not read . The server returned status code 500 (Internal Server Error)."

The CMS received a 500 response (Internal Server Error) from the Relevance REST service. Check the application logs for any error messages and/or stacktraces. Most likely this is caused by incorrectly configured data stores.

Verify that the data stores have been configured correctly.

Verify that the SQL database and Elasticsearch are running and reachable.

Relevance REST service returns 500 Internal Server Error

Check the application logs for any error messages and/or stacktraces. Most likely this is caused by incorrectly configured data stores.

Verify that the data stores have been configured correctly.

Verify that the SQL database and Elasticsearch are running and reachable.

The Trends tab does not contain any data

Check the application logs for error messages. In case of java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused, most likely the visits data store is configured incorrectly or the Elasticsearch instance is not running or unreachable.

Verify that the data stores have been configured correctly, in particular the visits store (Elasticsearch).

Verify that Elasticsearch is running.

The persona property "comes from" only provides two locations (Amsterdam, NL and Cambridge, US).

The locations are configured as properties of the GeoIPCollectorPlugin.

Using the Console, browse to /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/hippo-targeting/collector-geo.

Add a new location to the multi-valued string property locations, using the format city | country code | latitude | longitude (for example Amsterdam | NL | 52.350006 | 4.9167023).
