SA using convars stored in a config.cfg file - unlike other resources, you need to "execute" the config file before they will take effect.
See here for more info.

I made changes to the config and restarted the resource, but nothing changed​

SA using convars stored in a config.cfg file - unlike other resources, you need to "execute" the config file before they will take effect.
When you restart the resource without re-executing the config, the resource will re-read the previous values.
You either need to re-execute the config via the server console, or restart your server.
The command for the console can be found here.

Ensure Push Events are enabled, you can check by going to:
Admin > Advanced > In-Game Integration > Live Map

note

Push Events require a Sonoran Plus subscription or higher. See here for more info.

Above your server(s) name, IP, and port, there should be a green button labeled "ENABLED".
If you see a red button labeled "DISABLED", try clicking the button to enable it.
For further assistance with Sonoran CAD, contact Sonoran Support here.

My location has loaded, but I can't see select it / My location has loaded, but it's not showing in Sonoran​

If your location has loaded successfully but is not appearing as an option to Alert, it may have been loaded as a Dispatch Center.
You can confirm this by either:

  1. Restarting your server and watching the server console for the following log entry:

    •   Location "XYZ" has no lights and/or doors, it will be treated as a Dispatch Center.

  2. Typing the following command into the server console, then checking the output:

    • Command: 
      stationalert health
    • Output: 
      =====
      Station Alert - Health Check
      =====
      (...)

      =====
      Station Alert - Station Names
      =====
      (...)
      XYZ (DC: true)

To prevent a location from being treated as a Dispatch Center, add a light or a door.
