Installation issues:
Issue: There was an error uploading the new plugin: Could not load file or assemblyfile:///C:\Users\*******\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp48DB6.tmp' or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported.(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131515)
Solution: As this plugin is not available from the solution center, but downloaded from the Sophos Central Community, you may need to unblock the .DLL file by right clicking and navigating to file properties, as shown in the below screenshot
Authentication Issues
Issue: In some instances of both on-prem and hosted Connectwise post version 2021.1 we are seeing authentication issues due to the inability for the plugin to create the required database tables to store the authentication credentials.
Solution: Please see our wiki article on assigning effective permissions to user classes. If that doesn't work Connectwise provides a work around for on-prem solutions only.
Duplicate Machine Entry Issues
Issue: Duplicate machine entry is observed under the Computers tab
Solution: Please see our wiki article on the observed causes of why a duplicate machine may be observed and how to correct.
General Issues:
The Sophos plugin will keep an audit log of actions attempted and performed on Endpoints, Alerts, and Deployments, as well as application error logs such as failed API requests.
To check Audit logs navigate to 'Plugin Logs' within the Sophos Security Solutions Plugin.
Also detailed application logs are kept in the following locations.
