150 + Questions and Answers Included
- 509 Certificate
ANSWER: [SAML] 509 is a public key infrastructure and the certificate, in
SAML, is where this key is located. In practice, the only part of the certificate that matters is the public key. The public key is bound to a signing certificate in the metadata. The private key is securely held by the party that signs the XML message. For Smartsheet, this key allows us to authenticate the data being sent to us.

engagement from Smartsheet Consulting team.

- API Client ID
ANSWER: [Product] The specific ID shown in OpsCon Grid Load Logs and other
resources (Kibana, Dev Tools, etc.) will help identify which applications are accessing/updating sheets. Also, see the API Client ID Report in Smartsheet to help as a reference.
8. API_RATE_LIMIT
ANSWER: [OpsCon] This sets the number of requests that can come in from the
user to an individual API App Server per minute. There is a fleet of 10 API App Servers and each one gets this rate limit. Requests will come into the fleet and in most cases, they go to a new server each time, but in some cases, they may be sent to the same server. This rate limit per server helps to ensure the users won't get clipped by the Rate Limits early. It is controlled by the Long value and the default is 100. Decreasing it below 100 has no effect and it should NOT be increased beyond 200.
- App Log / Client Errors
ANSWER: [OpsCon] These can be reviewed just as one would for
troubleshooting Smartsheet application errors. Switching the Session Type to REST will show only errors from the API.You can also switch between the Log Type for App Log (Smartsheet Server Side Errors) and Client Log (API Client Making Request Errors).
10. APP_DEVELOPER
ANSWER: [OpsCon] Determines if a user has the Developer Tools enabled on
