SolarWinds Collector Data Processor/Polling Controller restarts all the time

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
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    4096
Date:        16/04/2011

User:        NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer:    CPHGIT7B
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

  • I have no idea where the first line in my post comes from. It it not there when editing the post.

    It has nothing to do with the error.

  • Try following first. 

    REPLACE JOB ENGINE
    1. Stop all Orion services from Orion Service Manager.
    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.
    4. This way you have the old one to revert back to and you always have a blank copy in case issue reoccurs.
    5. Right click on properties of the JobEngine35.sdf you have created and untick the read only box and click ok.
     
    REPLACE JOB TRACKER
    1. Stop all Orion services from Orion Service Manager.
    2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Collector\Data\JobTracker.sdf file and rename it to JobTracker_OLD.sdf
    3. Then create a copy of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Collector\Data\JobTracker - Blank.sdf one and rename it to JobTracker.sdf.
    4. This way you have the old one to revert back to and you always have a blank copy in case issue reoccurs.
    5. Right click on properties of the JobTracker.sdf you have created and untick the read only box and click ok.
     
    REPLACE POLLING COLLECTOR
    1. Stop all Orion services from Orion Service Manager.
    2. Go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Collector\Data\PollingController.sdf file and rename it to PollingController_OLD.sdf
    3. Then create a copy of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SolarWinds\Collector\Data\PollingController - Blank.sdf one and rename it to PollingController.sdf.
    4. This way you have the old one to revert back to and you always have a blank copy in case issue reoccurs.
    5. Right click on properties of the PollingController.sdf you have created and untick the read only box and click ok.
    6. Restart all Orion Services

    Next go  to add/remove programs and run a repair on Orion Core services and run through the configuration wizard again.

    Let me know if this helps, or if you require any further information.
