Dedicated Web Server page under "All Settings"

Within Solarwinds there should be a new page dedicated to the platforms own web servers under /orion/admin/default_orion.aspx

This should have a Red/Green Indicator like the "Polling Engines" page to illustrate if IIS and the site itself is functional. Maybe even provide performance and load statistics. Would also be great if it could be integrated with the IIS services so you could perform an IIS reset on a web server directly from the Orion console

There is currently no way to tell in Solarwinds how many Additional Web Servers you have without delving into the Database or Licensing Page, even then it doesn't show their status. A web server could be down and nobody would even know.

I understand this could be setup by some custom SAM monitoring or similar within Solarwinds, but I feel IIS is an integral part of the platform and should be represented within it by default

100% agree, should be able to see the health for the Main server and additional web servers.

At least add Web Servers and EOC if connected on the 'My Deployment' page

You’re so right; relying on database digging or the licensing page isn’t ideal, especially when a web server could be down without anyone knowing. It really should be a core part of the monitoring experience.

So, when you’re looking at the "Dedicated Web Server" page under "All Settings," it’s basically where you get all the controls for managing a dedicated server. You know, it’s like being the captain of your ship! You can adjust things like performance settings, security, and user management—all the essential stuff. If you're using a VPS hosting provider, this is usually where you’d manage your server’s resources, tweak settings to boost speed, or even change the operating system if you need to. It might seem a bit overwhelming if you’re not too techy, but once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty straightforward. If you’re ever unsure, the support team at your vps hosting provider is super helpful, so don't be afraid to reach out!
