I recently upgraded our Orchestrator environment to 2016 Update Rollup 8 (7.3.327.0). Since the upgrade, all of our "Monitor" activities are having issues. Around 5 PM daily, they stop properly monitoring. They do not receive any errors and they appear to be running and waiting but they do not trigger when needed. These include Monitor File and SharePoint Monitor List Items. Simply pressing stop then start fixes the issue.
Has anyone encountered a similar behavior?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn

Is the target computer always online at that time?
How many Orchestrator Runbook servers do you have in your environment?
Could you please check all "tabs" of the Runbook (Log, Log History, Audit History, Events) for additional details.
Anything in the EventLogs that might be helpful?

Hi Andreas,
We have 3 Runbook servers. In the Orchestrator Events tab, I see a series of warning messages every day at 5:17 PM. Screenshot below. I've also provided screenshot of the drill down into each individual message. Appears some type of network issue happens each day at that time. Not sure why the rollup update would have caused this to begin acting differently. Any thoughts?
MonitorFile: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception
MonitorFile: File monitor is waiting
You are monitoring a "remote folder", a share on a different VM?
Network connection is working without any problem between the SCORCH runbook servers and the remote VM (ping, remote access in the share)?
It's always at the same time the issue is showing up?

Yes, it's always the same time of day that it's showing up. The monitored locations are always either a DFS share or a SharePoint List. Not a specific VM.
Is there anything that is happening every day at this time?
It's possible to create runbooks for testing?
Monitor File -> Target = "a local folder" on the 3 SCORCH VMs.
Monitor File -> Target = "a share on a VM in the same vNet/subnet" of the SCORCH VMs
This way some possible reasons can be eliminated.
Regards
Andreas
