The hardware that SolarWinds Orion NPM keeps an eye on includes network equipment, such as routers and switches; endpoint devices, including terminals, desktop PCs, and mobile devices; and office equipment, such as printers.
The constant monitoring process gathers metrics that serve troubleshooting tasks. Quickly detect, diagnose, and resolve network performance issues and avoid downtime with network optimization software.
View performance, traffic, and configuration details of devices and applications that are onpremises, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments with NetPath. Accelerate identification of root cause by dragging-and-dropping network performance metrics on a common time line for immediate visual correlation across all of your network data. Respond to multiple condition checks, correlated events, network topology, and device dependencies.
Automatically discover and map devices, performance metrics, link utilization, and wireless coverage. Automatically calculate exhaustion dates using customizable thresholds based on peak and average usage. Visualize and gain insight into the health and performance of your F5 service delivery environment.
Retrieve performance metrics for autonomous access points, wireless controllers, and clients. Install and deploy in generally as little as an hour, with out-of-the-box monitors, alerts and reports.

As you will see in my case, even my 4 vCPUs is not enough. However, for evaluation purposes, I will be fine. Assuming your system meets the requirements, you will need to Accept an end user license agreement before the installation begins.
At the end of the installation when you click on this Finish button, the Orion web console will automatically open in your default browser. If you go through the standard installation, you will have the option to choose the web console port, probably port Note: You can also open the Orion Web Console like any normal application — search for it from your Windows search bar and click on it to open. Opening the web console for the first time, you are presented with the Discovery Central page which allows you to either automatically discover a network or manually add a single node.
On the Summary page which is customizable , we can see a list of the nodes, active alerts, a summary of events, maps, groups and even the option to search nodes. As you can see, the nodes are organized in groups by vendor and status.
We can click on each group and status to view a specific node. One cool thing with SolarWinds is that you can put your mouse pointer on a node or object and it will give a nice summary of that object. Clicking on a node will give us more details about that node like the status of the node, the active alerts for that node, polling details, availability statistics, CPU usage, and so on.
As you can see, SolarWinds NPM can get very granular and provide a wealth of information almost drowning you in information.
The first step is to define which network you want to scan. This can be done in several ways including:. I personally like using the seed router option because I can just specify one IP address and the discovery tool will start its scan from that router and then hop from that device to discover other devices as specified in the hop count option discussed below.
At the next step, you can choose to poll updates from all nodes that are currently being polled by agents. In our case, only the local server has an agent running on it. The next step asks for credentials for VMware systems. Since we are not using any VMware products, we will just uncheck that option and press Next.
Next, you will be required to enter SNMP credentials. SNMP is one of the most important tools for network monitoring and management. For security reasons, you should never use these default community strings in your network. Also if possible, use SNMPv3 instead. Use this article as a guide. On the next screen, we can enter WMI credentials. Next, we can customize the settings of the discovery like the name, description, SNMP timeout and so on.
For example, since we only added the By increasing the hop count to something greater than 0, the network sonar wizard will attempt to discover devices in that subnet also.
