We are facing an issue where Ignition becomes slow, and we don’t know the exact reason. During that time, the wrapper log records the error “IdP Adapter does not exist.” The slowness occurs for about 10 minutes, and after that it automatically returns to normal.
That sounds like a hacking attempt. Or perhaps an IT vulnerability scanner. Is this gateway on a public address?
You've tagged this with both Perspective, Vision, and scripting, but you just said "Ignition" becomes slow.
There's really no way to give you any concrete information on such a vague report.
Consider contacting support if you're not comfortable sharing more details publicly.
If it's on a consistent schedule and you're in a typical mega-corporate-IT environment, it certainly could be a "vulnerability scanner" tool trying a few thousand automated pentests against Ignition as an exposed network service, as Phil suggested.

Some suggestions to give better context of the issue:
- Is it just your front end apps vision/perspective that are slow to respond?
- Is your gateway config page also struggling to load during that time?
- If you have multiple gateways is it all or some of them?
- Is the machine/wrapper itself slow to load, can you remote connect to it during this time?
Going down the list it could be a bad script or project config vs an external IT issue related to cybersecurity policies or exploits.
