Hi @max0578 ,

Here are some suggestions to help you solve the problem:
1. Please check the data source url and data source credentials. Please make sure the url is correct and pointing to the data and has the required permissions to access the data.

2. Please check the gateway configuration. If the data source requires a local data gateway, make sure the gateway is online and configured correctly. The gateway must be in a normal state for the data to be refreshed.
