SolarWinds Collector Data Processor/Polling Controller restarts all the time

slindemann

On my solarwinds installation the two processes:

SolarWinds Collector Data Processor and

SolarWinds Collector Polling Controller

refuses to stay up.

The errors in event viewers application log are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Event Type:    Error
Event Source:    VsJITDebugger

Description:
An unhandled exception ('System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException') occurred in SolarWinds.PollingController.exe [5192]. Just-In-Time debugging this exception failed with the following error: Debugger could not be started because no user is logged on.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The server was working and the below patches was applied. After the required restart the two processes restarts all the time.

I have vacation so I am not really in a position to open a case, but I will look here once in a while and hope there is some answer or suggestions.

 

Best regards,

 

Steffen Lindemann

Try following first.

2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngineV2\Data\JobEngine35.sdf file and rename it to JobEngine35_OLD.sdf
3. Then create a copy of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\JobEngineV2\Data\JobEngine35 - Blank.sdf one and rename it to JobEngine35.sdf.
