Repair Elastio Source

Elastio repair functionality allows you to repair the Cloud Connector and vault(s). You will be asked by Elastio support to run this in case there is a chance that some Elastio resource is missing or misconfigured. This functionality may be also effective in case of continuously failing jobs, accidentally deleted resources or warnings for the broken sources on the Sources page. Repair reapplies the Terraform project for the Elastio deployment in a specific account and region, checking and redeploying the resources.

To repair the Cloud Connector and its related vaults, click the “Repair” button in the drop-down menu located under the 3 dots button on the right side of the Sources table.

A confirmation pop-up will be displayed.
