About the Yammer Connector

Security

The BA Insight Yammer Connector establishes a secure connection to the Yammer application and maps the content including metadata and attachments from the Yammer schema to the search engine schema.

It then extracts content and feeds it to the search engine in a process called crawling.

For more information about the Yammer Connector's abilities and features, see https://www.bainsight.com/connectors/yammer-connector-sharepoint-azure-elasticsearch/.

Limitations

Yammer API calls are subject to a request rate limit of 10 requests every 10 seconds per user per app. This might cause some of the items to be ignored during a crawl.

To fix this issue:

• Reduce the number of simultaneous requests to the Yammer Web Service from the Crawler Impact Rules page
• Create another Yammer application and use the access token generated by this application. (You must also create a new connection.)
  • Use another verified account to get the access token from the existing Yammer application. (You must also create a new connection.)
  • Increase the value of the ThrottlingRetryLimit setting from the Web.config file of the Connector service.
