Resolution

Currently, there is no resolution in Aria Operations 8.17.1 However, you can follow the workaround below.

1. Open the Telegraf Script

• Navigate to the Telegraf installation directory:

   

  C:\telegraf\

• Locate the telegraf-utils.ps1 script.

• Open it using a text editor (e.g., Notepad++ or Visual Studio Code).

2. Comment Out the Specific Line

• Find line 1089 in the script.

• Locate the following line:

   

  downloadFile $DL_URL"/wget.exe" $BOOTSTRAP_DIR/"wget.exe"

• Comment it out by adding # at the beginning:

   

  # downloadFile $DL_URL"/wget.exe" $BOOTSTRAP_DIR/"wget.exe"

3. Save the Script

• Save the modified telegraf-utils.ps1 file.

• Close the text editor.

4. Retry the Installation

• Run the installation command again to check if it proceeds without errors.
