Cannot generate Opensearch Reports - opensearch

I've updated to 2.3 on all my OpenSearch clusters in my AWS accounts. I try to generate reports in the Reporting Plugin. Both pdfs and pngs, based off of Dashboards. Only 1 time ever have I been successful to generate and download a pdf report. Most of the time the progress wheel just keeps spinning, and never finishes. I do see the browser console a few errors, and a 500, but I'm just curios if this feature even works? As across different clusters, with different versions, and different report settings it seems to not work.

Problems with MS TFS 2018's Dashboards, Build Pipelines, and Icons

I am having some recent problems with TFS 2018 that have escaped my ability to troubleshoot. The application runs on a Hyper-V VM hosting Server 2019 and connects to a separate MS SQL 2016 database over on a separate Windows 2019 VM.
A few weeks ago we migrated our database server over to a new machine which, over the course of setting our existing TFS server up to use the new database, required us to run though the TFS setup wizard again.
Everything was fine for about a week when we started to have issues, specifically with the TFS web front-end we use. First we lost various icons on the webpage, with the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc). replacing them with rectangles:
A little while after that we lost our project Dashboards, and the whole dashboard page is just blank now. A little while after that, our WIP build/test automation feature also lost its management section of the site.
Other than these things not displaying, things generally "work" - the source control stuff functions, work items can be interacted with, etc. It's just that the interface is clumsier without the icons (which extends to every icon within every work item type, not just the banner I shared) and we can't get our automated test reports without the site's front-end for it. The latter is the real show stopper.
I spent some time troubleshooting and at best was able to figure out a maybe solution for the icon problem: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c1038468-9d94-473d-a020-254789e9a19b/tfs-2015-update-2-missing-icons?forum=tfsgeneral
This seemed to do the trick for just the icon problem, though some time later they disappeared and reappeared when people were refreshing pages. I'm still unsure if the re-failure was a fluke or not, as we rolled back the VM snapshot the changes were made on shortly after.
Using Chrome's developer tools, it seems like the lack of dashboard data is related to issues retrieving content on the host server for a cause we cannot determine.
Here is what shows up on the DevTool in Chrome for our main project's Dashboard:
What's interesting is the error claims widget.css is either not present or empty. Neither of these are the case as I can find the file and read data in it.
I recognize MIME types as a thing that shows up in IIS but I don't know what to do with the information. Should I be adding .css to the MIME Types list within IIS? Maybe that was set and the wizard reverted it?
Here's what shows up in the Builds section:
Thing is, I don't know what to do with this information. I found some vague hints online from people having similar issues with sites they were themselves coding (which stated the errors in question were red herrings), but this TFS front end is not something I've created and I had not any idea what to do with the information shared.
Does anyone have an idea of what might have gone wrong with the dashboards here? I have run out of ideas and can't figure out a different attack angle to approach this from.

Dataprep Dashboard slow

I am having problems with performing actions on the Dataprep dashboard. In particular, when I try to merge two datasets, its just loading there for >20 minutes without a result. I tried to also add a new receipe or dataset and I only get that it gets stuck at 99%.
What is wrong with Dataprep Dashboard?
While I can't provide a specific reference, I've found that this can happen when you have a bad cache entry in your browser (either from a recent update to Dataprep or something related to the Flow itself).
Our team has found that this can often be resolved, but you can test that theory by opening a new Incognito window in Chrome (or another browser altogether) and loading your recipe there. If the problem goes away, it's likely that it was a caching issue—so you can just clear your cache for the Dataprep domain. (This has the advantage of also isolating things like LocalStorage.)
If you don't want to have to log in to your account from another window, you can also try hard-refreshing the page (Windows/Linux: Ctrl+F5, Mac: ⌘ Cmd+Shift+R)—or opening the Chrome Dev Tools, switching to the Network panel, checking the "Disable cache" button, and reloading the page. The plus here is that it allows you to test the issue without breaking your ability to recreate it (like if you want to submit a bug report).
Best of luck!

Spotfire automation options for non-administrator developers?

I have developed a Spotfire dashboard and would like to automate the following:
Update tables from a csv-file shortly after a certain csv-file gets created outside of Spotfire.
Save the dashboard after the update is over.
The problem is that at my company the dashboard still has internal status "in development" even though it is already in use. Therefore, I can rely only on what my Spotfire user can do: scripts. As far as I can tell, the native Spotfire automation routines are not available to me (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I tried the following IronPython script as a naive solution:
import time
while True:
if csv_already_there():
update_table()
save_dashboard()
time.sleep(3600) # sleep for one hour
But the script crashes Spotfire.
Note: what I am looking for is probably a kludge but I'm okay with that since it's just a temporary solution.

SSRS report won't load in browser

I am new to SSRS, but have begun migrating our reports to that for my organization. I have 3 reports set up at this time, but have run into a problem. Viewing any of the reports in Report Builder works just fine, but viewing 2 of the 3 in IE (also tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera) is only sporadically successful. Report server is set up on database server, and nothing in the queries being run would tax the system.
I know the security settings are correct, as I can access everything without permissions errors; I know the reports work, as I can freely use them in Report Builder and sometimes from the browser; and I am able to always access one of my three reports through the browser. All have the same security, are in the same folder, and I have gone through the same steps to load each of them. The only difference is that the one that always loads is much simpler than the other two as far as volume of data.
Now, to explain what I actually see when this happens. I set my parameters, and click View Report, and the loading icon pops up for about 1/10th of a second, then disappears. The toolbar does not appear, no data appears, and no error message is present. Every once in a while, it all works perfectly. Most of the time, only 1 of the 3 reports works. I've tried without success to find this issue raised elsewhere -- my apologies if I missed it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
edit details: SQL Server 2008 R2, on Windows Server 2008 R2, IE9 from a Windows 7 desktop.
If you inspect the SSRS error log it may reveal more of the issue. Sounds like a processing error that was not gracefully handled. Inspect the file \SERVER\\MSRSXX.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\LogFiles and find the current log file to view the exception. Depending on how the client is set up some errors may not show.

Reporting Services Timeouts and Display Issues

Reports that are being delivered via email/fileshare from SSRS work fine but when I try to run those same reports from IE at the management portal (http://reportserver/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx) it doesn't respond properly. At times the browser times out when connecting a report link and doesn't even display the report viewer. Other times the report viewer is displayed but the report isn't rendered. This seems to happen more on reports with larger data sets so I believe it's a timeout issue but I've tried changing what settings I can find and nothing has worked yet. I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 on a Windows 7 machine. I tried the suggestions in this thread and still have issues with the viewer not rendering the report when it's a larger data set.
