Overview

PDF files are not included in scheduled report emails in NPM and the following error appears in the ActionExecution.log file:

<timestamp> [10] ERROR SolarWinds.Orion.Core.Actions.Utility.WebPageFetcher - FAIL: EO.Pdf.HtmlToPdfException: Failed to convert Url 'https://Servername:443/Orion/Report....82d3'. (404:The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).

Cause

This is an error returned by the Web server, not by the HTML to PDF converter and is caused by website bindings in IIS.

Resolution

  1. Verify if this is a website binding issue:
    1. Visit the URL in the error message using a browser to verify if it is working.
    2. If the URL is valid, go to the Orion server and visit the URL using Internet Explorer and verify if a 404 Error appears. 
  2. Refer to Add or Edit Site Binding Dialog Box and edit binding settings to reflect the following value:
    • IP address: All Unassigned
  3. Repeat Step 1a to verify that the error no longer appears.

The PDF file should now be included in the scheduled report email.

 

Also: make sure the reply email is an email @YourCompanyName. The noreply@solarwinds.com address may not function as expected.
