What does the Netprobe log entry "ERROR: ActionManager Failed lookup for SamplerManagerPeer for probe <Netprobe Name> - remote action <Action Name> failed to fire" mean

Missing Netprobe Copied

This means that the an attempt to execute an Action failed as it was attempted against a remote NetProbe’s Imported dataview.

Sample log entry:

ERROR: ActionManager Failed lookup for SamplerManagerPeer for probe 'NP64 LAWIN 6370' - remote action 'Print target value to a file' failed to fire

Additional information Copied

This happens given the following conditions:

  1. Create a Rule that targets an imported data item
  2. The Rule’s Action has its run location set to the Netprobe
  3. The NetProbe is not running on a Gateway server

As the error is reported against an Imported NetProbe it will never be able to execute an action unless the actual netprobe is on the Gateway server so in general a rule should not be configured against an imported dataview to call a remote action.
