Is the Hadith "Whoever wishes to advise a ruler should not do so openly" authentic, and what is its تخريج (source/narration)?

The gist of the answer is: This hadith was narrated by Imam Ahmad, Ibn Abi Asim, Ibn Adiyy, and others, and it has various chains of transmission, none of which are free from criticism. However, its meaning is sound, which is that whoever wishes to advise a ruler should not do so openly, but rather take him aside privately. If the ruler accepts the advice, then so be it; otherwise, the advisor would have fulfilled his duty. Some scholars have explicitly stated the soundness of the hadith's meaning, even if its chains of transmission are weak. The Salaf (pious predecessors), when they wished to advise someone, would admonish them privately, due to the corrupting effects of public advice. Indeed, open denunciation of the ruler leads to the incitement of evil and discord.
