Critical update advisories

Legacy wireless SWIS entities

Legacy wireless SWIS entities were removed in this release. As a consequence, custom alerts, reports, or widgets using the removed SWIS entities stop working. Replace the legacy SWIS entities with currently supported ones. See this topic for details.

SolarWinds Message Bus replaces RabbitMQ

All deployments that do not have High Availability configured will be upgraded to the new message bus, SolarWinds Message Bus, replacing RabbitMQ. In previous versions, this migration was limited to only deployments with fewer than 300 nodes, fewer than 3 polling engines, and not using High Availability.

Passwords for passive WPM Players

Included in this release are changes to Web Performance Monitor (WPM) components. All features and platform modules are installed regardless of active licensing, as all SolarWinds Platform products share an underlying framework. SolarWinds recommends upgrading all environments at your earliest convenience to apply the latest performance and security fixes.

Three types of WPM player installations are affected by this update advisory:

1. The default player installed on the main polling engine when SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted was first installed.

2. Remote players installed by the customer and configured for passive mode.

3. Remote players installed by the customer in active mode.

After upgrading, passive WPM Players installed by default on the main polling engine (using Server-initiated communication) are switched to the active mode (using Player-initiated communication).

Passive WPM Players installed remotely are pre-filled with a randomly generated strong password during their automatic upgrade. This includes WPM Players with a disabled "Enable Upgrade" toggle. These are not upgraded to the latest version.

Active WPM Players (using Player-initiated communication) do not require a password to be set after the upgrade.

New features and improvements in SRM

Updated polling API now available in Pure Storage/Everpure devices

SRM now features an updated polling API in Pure Storage/Everpure devices to use the most recent version, 2.x API, from Pure Storage.

New features and improvements in SolarWinds Platform

SLA Mute mode for maintenance windows

Maintenance windows now support an SLA Mute state. In this state, monitoring and data collection continue, you can optionally mute alerting, and the SolarWinds Platform excludes the period from availability and SLA calculations. Unmanaging or disabling an object stops monitoring entirely, while SLA Mute keeps the object monitored during planned maintenance.

Redesigned network discovery

Network discovery has a redesigned workflow that uses the same interaction patterns as the rest of the modernized SolarWinds Platform Web Console and takes fewer steps to bring devices under monitoring.

Alert when a device stops sending SNMP traps

A new out-of-the-box alert triggers when a device does not send an SNMP trap within a time period that you specify. Use this alert to detect silent failures on devices that cannot be polled, such as a trap source behind a data diode.

Asset ID included in forwarded alerts

Alerts forwarded to integrated service management tools, including SolarWinds Service Desk, ServiceNow, and SolarWinds Incident Response, now include the Asset ID of the affected entity. The receiving tool can link the incident to the exact configuration item in its configuration management database (CMDB).

Accessibility improvements

Updated accessibility support for keyboard navigation, ARIA roles and semantics, and screen readers to help meet Section 508 requirements.

• HTML and ARIA accessibility: Corrected heading semantics, breadcrumb roles, and required parent roles for tables and menus. Added accessible names for overlays and switches, and corrected invalid or incomplete ARIA relationships.

• Keyboard accessibility: Enabled keyboard access to scrollable regions and search controls, improved the focus order in search, and removed focusable elements nested within other interactive controls.

• Search and main menu accessibility: Improved focus indicators and contrast, keyboard activation, Enter and Escape key behavior, accessible labels, and screen reader support for search controls.

• Interactive controls: Corrected nested interactive elements in radio controls and list items.

Scalability updates

A SolarWinds Platform Web Server now supports up to 150 concurrent user sessions, an increase from 100.

Concurrent users are counted as users interacting with the SolarWinds Platform Web Console within a 30-second window. Hardware requirements depend on the number of concurrent users supported.

FIPS 140-3 compliance

When deployed in FIPS-approved mode, SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted 2026.4 and all listed modules are FIPS 140-3 ready, with documented exceptions.

Database Performance Analyzer Integration Module improvements

The following improvements have been added to the Database Performance Analyzer Integration Module (DPAIM):

• Cloud SQL databases monitored by DPA can be automatically discovered through DPAIM. Configuration changes are synchronized and obsolete cloud relationships are cleaned up automatically when cloud resources or accounts are deleted.

• From the DPA Server Management page, you can now edit the properties of an integrated DPA server without having to remove and then reestablish the integration.

Fixed CVEs

At SolarWinds, we prioritize the swift resolution of CVEs to ensure the security and integrity of our software. In this release, we have successfully addressed the following CVEs.

Fixed customer issues

Case number	Description	Platform product
01744792	When a user specifies an empty database during database configuration, the Configuration Wizard no longer checks the database branding version, and the following message is not displayed: An exception occurred when fetching the DB branding version.	Platform

01791596, 01802623, 01976085, 02076730	During upgrades, the system check now determines whether the WebSocket protocol for IIS is enabled, and displays a message if it is not. Intelligent Maps use this protocol to efficiently display real-time changes. If this protocol is disabled, live updates work, but performance is slower. The message includes a link to the Support article How to Enable the WebSocket Protocol for the SolarWinds Platform.	Platform
01692130, 01776286, 01899647, 01976398	To improve web performance and system load times, nodes-related data operations use the db.entities framework efficiently, reducing blocking, excessive reads, and slow updates across partitioned tables.	Platform
01892652	When database connectivity is lost, the alerting engine remains stable and does not stop and restart repeatedly across the primary and secondary HA servers.	Platform
01972784	The Mandatory Notice appears only once during SAML authentication and subsequent dashboard access.	Platform
02028380	When an agent-monitored node is moved to a different polling engine, the node remains up and polling continues.	Platform
02119564	HA pool setup correctly treats the Virtual IP address and Hostname as optional. If a Virtual IP address is entered and then cleared, it is no longer cached.	Platform
02036022	The Status Summary resource, which was intended for EOC deployments, can no longer be added to views in other SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted deployments.	Platform

02045443	Manage Nodes, Alerts, and Reports no longer display duplicate entries for Power Control Units (PCUs) or UPS devices, ensuring accurate data organization and clean user interface filtering.	Platform
02038245	List resources jobs on SolarWinds Agent nodes now provide traceable life cycle logging across creation, scheduling, propagation, and execution stages.	Platform
02037173	When a report with a comma in the title is exported to Excel using the Export to Excel button, the file name is no longer truncated.	Platform
02173415	As you drill down through entities in the Modern Dashboards Entity Drilldown resource, breadcrumbs display information about previous selections and can be used for navigation.	Platform
N/A	The Force-enable multi-subnet failover setting is applied to the database connection string for all supported SQL Server authentication methods.	Platform
02083215	When you set up a one-time scheduled maintenance job, the interval is scheduled correctly even if the client and server are in different time zones.	Platform
02135171, 02161717	In the Add Node or Edit Node wizard, if the gMSA Account option is selected for a node that uses WMI polling, the Connection Mode automatically changes to WinRMOnly, and the Authentication Mechanism changes to Kerberos. These changes enable successful gMSA authentication. If the gMSA Account option is later deselected, these options revert to their previous values.	Platform
02093182, 02099195, 02104654, 02165764, 02168101, 02176177	Polling Completion displays 100% for new installations and accurately aggregates job engine completion values after polling activity begins.	Platform
N/A	Job Engine v3 reliably processes job requests even when request-body data arrives slowly.	Platform
02081056	Database maintenance removes orphaned data across GCP services, preventing stale cloud entities from consuming license capacity.	Platform
02101101	The Node Details Poller has been improved to reliably poll certain OIDs, allowing the associated devices to be added.	Platform
02025395	When an anomaly-based alert is triggered and a user adds notes to the triggered alert instance, the alert entity details page displays the correct data, not There is no data to show.	Platform
02054679	The All IP Addresses on Node resource correctly displays both IPv4 and IPv6 address information for SNMP nodes.	Platform
02109883	HA pools remain healthy and standby APEs start correctly after upgrades without duplicate engine records or manual database cleanup.	Platform

02165798	Database maintenance no longer fails for HPE Allera 9000, HPE Primera, HPE Alletra MP10000, and HPE Greenlake for Block Storage devices because of a float.max value for the DataReduction and TotalReduction columns.	SRM
01972776	To prevent connection failures, attempting to connect to an HPE Modular Smart Array (MSA) (Redfish) using a web proxy is no longer possible.	SRM
N/A	The statistics poll can be triggered manually using the button on the Array Details page.	SRM
02137399	Disks that are polled with the ONTAP REST API are limited to disks that are local to the storage array, excluding disk from partner arrays in the MetroCluster. This prevents disks from being counted twice, which avoids unnecessary license consumption.	SRM
02123856	Database maintenance no longer fails on the SRM_StorageControllerStatistics_DetailToBaseline stored procedure with Arithmetic Overflow errors.	SRM
02083369, 02026720, 02010290, 02097812, 02108965	*Platform Connect now runs a preflight connectivity and TLS readiness check before UAMS registration, detecting common problems such as blocked outbound ports, DNS resolution failures, TLS trust-chain issues, and blocked ALPN/HTTP2 negotiation. If an issue is detected, it displays clear remediation guidance instead of a late, unclear failure.	Platform
02148084, 02168675, 02164466	*Node statistics collection no longer fails for an entire batch of nodes when a single node reports an unusually long ICMP response time. Response times that exceed the previous storage limit are now handled without causing bulk insert failures for other nodes.	Platform
02123590, 02147402, 02161418	*Users are now warned before uninstalling the UAMS plugin in a High Availability environment because doing so without first disabling HA can lead to failover issues.	Platform
02155686, 02119115, 02122152	*The Platform Connect wizard no longer fails to validate tokens and complete API calls when Internet access is through a proxy server. The wizard now respects the configured SolarWinds Platform proxy settings.	Platform
N/A	*The Node Details maintenance status information has been reformatted for readability when multiple planned maintenance jobs (mute, unmanage, and alert suppression) apply to a node at once.	Platform
02130240	*An audit log entry is now recorded when a user attempts to log in with an incorrect password through LDAP authentication.	Platform
02195545	*The Configuration Wizard no longer reports failed alert imports for canned alerts that belong to unlicensed or inactive modules.	Platform
02170108	*The Platform Bridge UAMS plugin and other .NET-based UAMS plugins no longer randomly fail to start with a CryptographicException when parsing its client certificate.	Platform
02182782	*Scheduled discovery configured on a Remote Collector no longer fails after the initial run. Subsequent scheduled discoveries now execute correctly.	Platform
02103615, 02126355	*The Alerting Service no longer crashes when a background cleanup task encounters a recoverable SQL deadlock. Alert evaluation and cleanup continue running instead of stopping throughout the platform.	Platform
02176816	*An Intelligent Map widget using Map Name Format on a legacy Group Summary page no longer fails to load the map when a view limitation is also configured.	Platform
02203409	*Upgrades no longer fail because the deployment uses an older self-signed SolarWinds certificate signed with the SHA-1 algorithm. The Configuration Wizard now uses RabbitMQ instead of NATS as the message bus broker when the certificate has a SHA-1 signature.	Platform
02179634	*The Job Engine worker process no longer fails with an unhandled exception during WMI-based polling, improving background polling job stability.	Platform
02166379	*A time series widget that includes a PerfStack project can now be edited. Editing is no longer blocked because the Starting timespan field is required but no value can be selected.	Platform
01733844, 02121093, 02127266	*Email notifications now attach PDF files using the correct application/pdf MIME type instead of plain/text. Therefore, mail clients correctly recognize PDF attachments.	Platform

*This fix was added after the RC release.

Installation or upgrade

Known issues

HPE Alletra 9000/HPE Primera/HPE Alletra MP10000/HPE GreenLake for Block - SRM Maintenance Job Fails with "Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type real."

This issue has been fixed in 2026.4, but may still appear if you're upgrading from a previous version.

On some storage arrays, the REST API returns TotalReduction (and potentially DataReduction) as the real data type's float-max sentinel value (3.402823E+38) instead of NULL or a real reduction ratio (e.g. when the underlying ratio is undefined or divide-by-zero on the array side). When the timeseries maintenance job rolls this data up (Detail → Hourly → Daily), the aggregation arithmetic overflows the real range and the entire maintenance run for this table fails, blocking further rollups, resulting in the nightly/scheduled database maintenance job failing, and swdebugMaintenance.log showing:

Failed to execute 'Finalize Maintenance [SRM_StorageArrayCapacityStatistics_CS]' System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): dbm_ExecuteMaintenance: dbm_AggregateData_part: dbm_AggregateTimeSerie_part: XACT_STATE=-1 Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type rea.l

You may also notice that historical/rollup data for SRM_StorageArrayCapacityStatistics stops updating (hourly/daily aggregation is stuck) once this failure starts occurring, since a failed maintenance run blocks subsequent aggregation for that table

Resolution or workaround:To fix this issue, contact support or perform a clean install of 2026.4.
