Overview

This article will address an issue where the Configuration Wizard fails with the following error:

Exception while configuring plugin Orion Core Services component Centralized Settings. An item with the same key has already been added.

Product section

Orion Platform

Cause

A configuration setting was not removed during the upgrade.

Resolution

Remove VIM.Common.Settings.json from C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion\Configuration\Settings\ (Or from the path the Orion applications are installed on).
Re-run the Configuration Wizard.

The issue should be resolved now that VIM.Common.Settings.json was removed.

* Another resolution, works with NPM 12.2 / 2017.3

Make sure that the syslog and traps are compatible version
Uninstall syslog and trap from the control panel
Do a Core repair (in NPM 12.2 Core Services includes the syslog and trap installer)
