In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to diagnose API requests, authentication, timeouts, SSL/TLS certificates, test and production webhooks, Redis queue issues, and PostgreSQL or SQLite errors.
Why use it?
It replaces guesswork with a structured way to identify whether the problem is the service, credentials, network, certificate, webhook, rate limit, queue, or database.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

n8n-errors-connection scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

n8n Connection Error Diagnosis & Resolution

Deterministic diagnostic guide for all n8n v1.x connection failures. Format: Symptom -> Cause -> Fix. ALWAYS follow the diagnostic tables.

Quick Reference: Connection Error Categories

Category Common Symptom Go To
API connection HTTP 4xx/5xx, ECONNREFUSED, ETIMEDOUT API Failures
Credentials 401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden Credential Errors
Timeouts ETIMEDOUT, ESOCKETTIMEDOUT, execution hangs Timeout Configuration
SSL/TLS UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE, CERT_HAS_EXPIRED SSL/TLS Errors
Webhooks Webhook not triggering, 404 on webhook URL Webhook URL Issues
Rate limiting 429 Too Many Requests Rate Limiting
Queue mode Redis ECONNREFUSED, worker not picking up jobs Queue Mode (Redis)
Database ECONNREFUSED on 5432, SQLite SQLITE_BUSY Database Errors

API Connection Failures

Symptom Cause Fix
ECONNREFUSED Target service is down or wrong host/port ALWAYS verify the service is running and the URL is correct. Check host:port in credential or node config.
ENOTFOUND (DNS) Hostname cannot be resolved ALWAYS check for typos in the URL. Verify DNS resolution from the n8n host with nslookup or dig.
ETIMEDOUT Network unreachable or firewall blocking ALWAYS check firewall rules, security groups, and network connectivity from the n8n container/host.
HTTP 500 Remote server internal error NEVER assume this is an n8n issue. Check the target API's status page and logs. Retry after delay.
HTTP 502/503 Upstream service unavailable Check if the target service is overloaded or restarting. Use retry-on-fail configuration.
ECONNRESET Connection dropped mid-request Typically a network instability issue. Enable retry-on-fail on the node.
Proxy errors Corporate proxy blocking requests Set HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and NO_PROXY environment variables. See references/methods.md.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
