Hello and salutations,
Thank you for your consideration of our Hybrid Cloud Observability (HCO) product which is built on the SolarWinds Platform (formerly known as Orion). This new license model provides at lot of advantages over the heritage point products, and we group the various functionality of the various point products into a new product offering. Therefore, this document is to help determine the license tier you will be in by converting over your existing products into the new HCO offering.
Determining your version of the SolarWinds Platform (fka Orion):
Please open your SolarWinds Web console to look at the footer of the website, which would present the version you are currently on for our application. This referenced image provides you a visual guide:
If you are on version 2023.2 or newer, then please go to this SolarWinds Thwack article to gain access to a report that you can import into your reports to run. Here is the corresponding video to show you how to import/export a report within your web console --> link
If you are running an older version of the SolarWinds Platform, then the below section would be the appropriate way to gather the necessary information to be properly licensed in the new product offering.
Possible Modifications to the SWQL Query:
Please remove the sections of color-coded text based on a product not being present in your environment.
- Remove this line if SAM doesn’t exist
- Remove this line is VMan doesn’t exist
- Remove this line if NCM doesn’t exist
Query Colored-coded to highlight the sections for possible removal:
SELECT
t1.Total as [Total ICMP Nodes]
, t2.StatusO as [ICMP Status Only Nodes]
, t1.VMan as [ICMP VMan Nodes]
, t1.API as [ICMP API Nodes]
, t2.SAM as [ICMP SAM Nodes]
, t2.NCM as [ICMP NCM Nodes]
FROM
(SELECT
count(DISTINCT OriN.NodeID) as [Total]
, sum(case when OriN.ObjectSubType='ICMP' AND OriN.ApiPollers.ID IS NOT NULL THEN 1 ELSE 0 end) as API
, sum(case when OriN.ObjectSubType='ICMP' AND (OriN.Host.HostID IS NOT NULL OR OriN.VCenter.VCenterID IS NOT NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 end) as VMan
from Orion.Nodes OriN WHERE OriN.ObjectSubType='ICMP') as t1
join
(SELECT
count(DISTINCT OriN.NodeID) as Total

, count(distinct OriN.Applications.nodeid) as SAM
, sum(case when OriN.NCMLicenseStatus.LicensedByNCM='Yes' then 1 else 0 end) as NCM
from Orion.Nodes OriN WHERE OriN.Objectsubtype='ICMP') as t2 on t1.Total=t2.Total
SWQL Query to run within your environment:
Please go to https://<your SolarWinds Server Hostname>/Orion/Admin/swis.aspx to then apply your modified query to execute the query. The results should be shared with your Account Representative.
