| 01354791 | When you run a report that queries the SolarWinds log database, the results of the query is shown instead, not the message Query is not valid. |
Before you upgrade!
If you built syslog and trap alerts using custom SQL queries, they will not function after upgrading to 2022.3 or later. SolarWinds recommends you rewrite the alerts using SWQL (Orion.OLM entities) or using the alerting functionality built into Log Analyzer.
Installation or upgrade
If you are upgrading from LA 2022.2, remove the following file from all agents (both local and remote) after upgrading and restart the SolarWinds Agent services:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Agent\Plugins\LA_WindowsEvents.Agent.plugin
Failure to remove this file after upgrading from SolarWinds Platform 2022.2 may result in future licensing conflicts.
For new installations, you can download the installation file from the product page on https://www.solarwinds.com or from the Customer Portal.
For upgrades, go to Settings > My Deployment to initiate the upgrade. The SolarWinds Installer upgrades your entire deployment (all SolarWinds Platform products and any scalability engines).
