Still have the same issue ?

In this case we have to check the Session Trace for the Node.

Enable Session Trace

Open the Orion Web Console.
Go to:
7.6 and older: Settings > All Settings > NCM Settings > Advanced Settings
7.7 and newer: Settings > All Settings > Product Specific Settings > CLI Settings
Enable Session Tracing check box.
Go to the trace log location:
7.6 and older: C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\NCM\Session-Trace
7.7 and newer: C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\CLI\Session-Trace
Delete the trace files.

Now Run the below Test and check the Session Trace log file for the Error (Error will be listed on the bottom of the log file)

If you are unable to understand the Error why its failing - You can either search or post the issue on the Thwack or Open Support Ticket and provide us the Session Trace file.
