- You got it! SolarWinds wants to provide deeper visibility and smarter scalability to network admins everywhere! The constant innovation in this area attracts the attention of IT groups of all sizes interested in how SolarWinds can help them solve problems. With this set of releases, we continue to bring low cost, best-in-class solutions to the end user based on their requests and the business challenges they face.
- [don’t review all the details here or you won’t have much to say on the individual slides] NPM 12.4 – Cisco® ACI support. Monitor your SDN environment with Cisco ACI support. NCM 7.9 – Multi-device baselines. Define and apply baselines or config snippets to any network node to help monitor config drift and adherence to corporate config standards. NTA 4.5 – Alert on flow. Get alerted so you can quickly act if application traffic suddenly increases, decreases, or disappears completely. Set alerts to be notified when a device stops sending flow data, so you can efficiently remediate the problem. IPAM 4.8 – Infoblox® support. Get visibility into your Infoblox DHCP and DNS infrastructure.

- Centralized upgrades: We’ve made it easier to install and streamline the customer upgrade process. SAML authentication: Enables teams to set up single sign on when logging into the console Device Guard: The Orion Platform and its related product modules now support being installed and running on systems where Microsoft’s Device Guard is enabled. What this means is that all binaries are signed, which ensures they come from a trusted source and have not been manipulated or modified in any way. Device Guard is Microsoft’s new strategy for protecting against malware, viruses, and other malicious and unscrupulous activities from modifying application code running on Windows to siphon off sensitive information such as passwords, inject ransomware, etc.. Customers who enable Device Guard on their servers can rest assured that Orion will continue to function properly. Previous releases would have not run at all in an environment where Device Guard was enabled because our code was not signed and was considered untrusted, and therefore unsafe. PerfStack improvements: Users can also now transform line data in PerfStack to remove noise generated from raw data and help quickly surface anomalies.
- Orion 2018.4 has the system requirements listed here. Microsoft no longer supports Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, and SQL Server 2012, so customers will need to update those systems before updating their SolarWinds products. Going forward the Orion platform and its related modules will begin to leverage new technologies only available in newer versions of SQL and Windows. These improvements allow for better performance, scalability, usability, and security enhancements that are only provided in the latest versions. There is a KBA on this, as well as a few THWACK articles about upgrading.
- As you are probably aware, Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is Cisco’s version of SDN or Software Defined Networking. SDN makes networks more flexible by moving the intelligence of a network out of the individual hardware components and into a single controller. Admins can program the controller to have the network act in any way they want. For example, instead of running cables and physically moving devices, they can do this all within the ACI construct. If you are thinking of implementing SDN or already have Cisco ACI environments, will appreciate this new feature because SDN can be difficult to manage without the ability to view the logical and physical network within the same monitoring suite. With NPM 12.4 Cisco ACI support, you can not only monitor your SDN environment but also measures the health of leaf-spine data center architectures. This helps users save time working through SDN complexities and gain the ability to monitor, receive alerts, and report on what’s going on in the environment.

- Whether application traffic suddenly increases, decreases, or just disappears completely, you’ll probably want receive alerts and take action as needed. Obviously a good approach for dealing with bandwidth hogs or bandwidth issues. Changes in traffic patterns can also be an indicator of malicious activity.
- Baseline improvements We’ve improved baselines by identifying configuration drift. This functionality reduces the need to manually go over the configs, which can be very time consuming. Today, NCM only shows config data on a one-to-one basis. With the new baseline improvements, IT professionals can get a more comprehensive view by leveraging baselines across multiple nodes. The result? Faster identification of out of compliance configurations through an improved, more streamlined baseline diff viewer. Only those lines that have changed are shown – unchanged lines are collapsed in the view. To complete the story, users can leverage the existing power of NCM to execute network config changes needed to get all devices in the network in compliance. XML configuration support Enhanced feature allows users to download, back up, manage, compare, and analyze XML configurations to better manage devices that use XML configurations.
- IP Address Manager 4.8 now supports Infoblox, the leading DDI provider in the marketplace. As you’re probably aware, DDI is the acronym for the integration of DNS, DHCP, and IP address management into a unified service or solution. SolarWinds IPAM now pulls DNS and DHCP information to give customers deeper visibility and a unified view into their Infoblox environment. Many organizations today have a heterogeneous environment with DNS and DHCP services on different platforms. Adding Infoblox support provides an integrated and unified view to help with workflow and consolidation of all their IP monitoring tools. IP monitoring across platforms should all work together and shouldn’t need to be monitored separately, which can be a big time saver.

- Dameware tools provide remote control and systems management capabilities
- Log Filtering The LEM Events Console included with LEM 6.4 marked our first step in moving away from Flash. The Events Console is designed so you can interact with your log data easily and quickly. LEM 6.6 includes a brand-new query builder that enables you to build and manage your log filters via the LEM Events Console. Node Management This release includes the ability to manage your nodes within our new HTML5 UI. You can add new devices, as well as manage existing LEM devices from the Node Management page. You can also search and filter on nodes, and manage connectors associated with each agent node.
