Solarwinds Upgrade from 2019.4.2 to 2020.2.6 Solarwinds Log Manager for Orion Polling Service keeps stopping

Hi All

I upgraded our environment to 2020.2.6HF1 and must say this was the easiest and quickest update from previous updates. Now We have 1 Main PE, 1x Web-Server and three APE's. All three PE's updated successfully but one PE's Solarwinds Log Manager for Orion Polling Service keeps stopping after about 2 seconds. Did run configuration wizard again on services and repaired the service from installer as well but still the same. Restarted server as well just to check. I don't want to do a cli uninstall and install as the hassle with moving all nodes to active again and shifting them again from main poller to remote poller is time consuming due to over 6000 objects. Any thoughts as to what I might be missing. I have logged a call with Solarwinds.
