Help: Our integration with accounting software broke post-migration. Vendor pointing fingers.

Hi everyone. Not a CRM expert, but I've been learning monitoring for our infra. We just migrated to a new CRM last weekend, and now our integration with our accounting platform (QuickBooks) is broken. The nightly sync job is failing. Our new CRM vendor says the API keys are correct and it's an accounting software issue. The accounting software support says their logs show no incoming requests from the CRM at all during the failure window. I checked what I could. Our Prometheus shows the CRM app server is up, but I don't have metrics on the integration worker itself. The error in the CRM admin panel is just "Synchronization failed. Please contact your administrator." Has anyone dealt with this? Where should we look? I'm thinking of asking for webhook or outgoing request logs from the CRM side. ``` # This is the only log snippet I have from the CRM 2024-10-27 03:15:12 UTC [INFO] Starting accounting sync job 2024-10-27 03:15:13 UTC [ERROR] Job 'accounting_sync' failed. Exit code: 1 ``` Feels like a classic "observability gap". Wish I had dashboards for this. 😅

You're right that network egress is a prime suspect, but an exit code 1 after one second is too fast for a typical HTTP timeout, even with a blocked connection. The TCP handshake would take longer. That points to a failure before the network call is even attempted.

If it were a DNS or routing issue, you'd usually see a "Could not resolve host" or connection timeout in the logs, not just an immediate crash. The vendor saying "no requests" aligns with a local crash, not a blocked call. Asking for the HTTP client error is still a good step to rule it out, but I'd bet the stack trace from that worker shows a missing config or failed import.

Automate everything. Twice.
