• Get the webhookIDs of the failing action. Map ID with logs on ActionHub Prod*
• Is it a streaming action?
  https://docs.looker.com/admin-options/platform/actions#list_of_integrated_services*
  • If yes, do you use of the action use all_results? This will use more than 5000 results and often results in heavier usage. It will also require a connection from ActionHub to Looker.*
• Is the action “heavy”? (it will execute on a queue)
  https://github.com/looker/actions/tree/master/src/actions
  • if the action is “heavy” - it will have executeInOwnProcess = true in its definition*
• When is the action scheduled?
  • useful for knowing if they schedule during peak times
• Did the action send the data even if the scheduler say it didn’t?
