Error message

unable to query

What it means

Sentinel database.QueryFail: wrapping error indicating a query/list operation failed — e.g. an invalid 'limit' query parameter or an ent query error during alert pagination. The wrapped error has driver detail.

Solutions

1. Inspect the wrapped error for the failing parameter or SQL cause
2. Validate pagination parameters (limit/offset must be integers) before calling the alerts API
