We just upgraded our servers to the latest Orion code. Top Talker alerts are again broken. This seems to have happened several times in past.versions, so it appears to be hard for developers to test.
We still get the email, and subject is properly populated, but no data is in the text. On the Trigger Actions window, on Configure Action:Email Action, in the Enter or Paste the Web Page URL window, we have:
${SQL:SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(Macro, '$$Password$$','redacted123'),'$$User$$', 'Admin') FROM NetFlowAlertMacros WHERE ID='InWebMailInterfaceDetailsLink'}
Of course, we use complex passwords with possible metacharacters. We haven't had to escape them in the past.
In addition, there are typos in the NTA 4.4 Administrators Guide, where text is missing in the setup steps for Top Talkers on page 109. Step 10 is missing the code example, and Step 11 is missing the non-code text.
I've left feedback based on the feedback link at the bottom of NTA 4.4 Administrator Guide - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support. When I see a correction, I'll try to post here. This leads me to believe that the calling method may have changed.
I'd appreciate it if anyone can confirm whether the method for calling and including user and password (is escaping necessary now?) have changed in 4.4, or whether the Admin user no longer has the necessary rights on Windows 2012R2. We do have a fairly secure setup with GPOs and such, but this all worked under 4.2.1 the day before the upgrade.
