Hi @cblaga
Is this a new problem? If yes, which version did it work on previously?
Does the Metabot have permissions for those questions? Admin > Permissions
Does it happen even for simple SQL question like select 1 ?
You should migrate away from H2 if you’re using Metabase in production:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/migrating-from-h2.html
And I would recommend Java 11:
https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/java-versions.html
Hi @flamber . I just downloaded Slack, never used it before this. I checked user permissions but metabot does not appear in the user list.it does appear in permissions though.
Tried to give it acces to my database but when I save changes it reverts to ‘X’.
I am doing dashboards from a MySQL DB, should I migrate ?
Will dashboard and questions definitions be saved in mysql db after I migrate?
@cblaga Yeah, the Metabot will never appear as an user and I actually don’t think it should be shown in Permissions either, which is why you cannot change permissions for it - sorry about the confusion.
I think you might not have setup the bot correctly in Slack.
Check the log for activity, when you try to use the Metabot (or warnings/errors) - Admin > Troubleshooting > Logs
Everything is migrated. After migration, remove the H2 file (backup) and you would then point Metabase to use the new database: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/operations-guide/configuring-application-database.html
I’m not sure it’s config related, the bot responds to ‘metabot list’ - I get my questions but it returns nothing
This is what the log says:

@cblaga I don’t understand - you can use metabot list, but not any other commands? Which commands are you using?
Fairly sure the problem is your Java version.
For another question I get this error
Uh oh!

In the slack config page it says that metabot is in no channels even though in slack app I created the #metabase_files channel. Maybe I need to somehow tell slack that the bot should use that channel?
Just switched to java11 on the server, still same errors.
I’m using “metabot show 13” or “metabot show ~|name of question|~”
@cblaga
Make sure that you’re actually starting with Java 11 - check “Diagnostic Info” in Admin > Troubleshooting.
@metabot needs to be invited into channels - #metabase_files is where images are stored - there would be different errors if that is the problem.
The only time I have seen this error was while trying to debug this issue, which I think has something to do with timezones, but that’s some really difficult stuff to debug:
https://github.com/metabase/metabase/issues/11587
I think i got it. Checked the log after metabot list command and it’s looking in another database. I have 4 databases configured. 1. Sample 2. Production 3. Reporting 4. Testing. It returns my questions but it queryes db 4 instead of 2
Gotta go now, I’ll check it later and let you know, maybe I will try to delete the other 3 databases because I don’t really need them right now.
@cblaga Not quite sure I understand, but if you use metabot show 13, then it should use the question ID to return data from that, which doesn’t have anything to do with your databases (besides the question is of course connected to a database).
Hi @flamber, restarted metabase with jdk11 and it works like a charm. Thanks for the help !
How can I flag the post as resolved ? It’s my first time posting here.
