Hi

We are using Netwrix Auditor 10.8 with SQL Server databases. For the reports, it is using a SSRS 2019 (Report Server Version 2018.0150.1103.41) on Windows server 2019.

In the SSRS Log we keep getting the following recurrent error messages. What could be the cause?

ReportingServicesService_2026_01_27_00_00_43.log:9804 library!ReportServer_0-4!20e0!01/27/2026-09:23:06:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemAlreadyExistsException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.Diagnostics.Utilities.ItemAlreadyExistsException: The item '/Netwrix Auditor/Netwrix Auditor for Entra ID' already exists.;

Hello Vincent,

That error message is nothing to worry about. Netwrix Auditor performs a verification to ensure that all reports from the local reports folder are uploaded to the SSRS server. This message simply indicates that the report already exists on the server, so no action is required.

If, for any reason, individual reports or even the entire reports folder were removed, Netwrix Auditor would automatically restore them for you.

You should not be seeing any error messages within Netwrix Auditor itself. However, if you are encountering any, please let me know and we’ll be happy to take a closer look.

Michael,

Thank you for your pompt response!

I am going to modify my SSRS monitoring script to ignore this type of error but this would be nice that these events are not considered as errors but warnings… Perhaps there is a different way for Netwrix to verify that the reports already exists…

Vincent,

Glad I could help. We do have a board on here where you can leave that as a suggestion. You can visit the Ideas Portal for Auditor by visiting this link:
