Solarwinds server recommendations

We have DB (Physical), main poller (Physical) with additional web poller (Virtual) in same subnet. We are planning to move web poller to Azure (will be in different subnet). Will it be fine or it is not recommended?
Another option for me is to move all three servers to Azure in same subnet. For this option main poller and DB server in Azure (virtual), will this work properly? I mean no performance issue.

I'd recommend reading this Solarwinds document on how to do this.

Deploy SolarWinds Platform products to Microsoft Azure

We're running our entire SWOSH platform in Azure and the only thing I'll say is make sure your backend SQL server(s) are very highly spec'd otherwise you will have bad latency issues. Follow the Azure SQL Server best practice and management recommendations - you want as many IOPS and as much bandwidth on the disks as you can afford. Our database disks are Premium SSD on a T20 storage tier and we still get latency.

Premium SSDv2 and Ultra disks are available and supported, and we were hoping to make use of the NVMe capability of Server 2025 in Azure but can't as yet.

Web poller? Do you mean a "Additional Web Server", or an "Additional Poller". I don't think there are any web servers that poll, beyond the main poller/server that is?

Either way, why move it, just create another one there? Ideally, either should be near the database and/or main poller, but not required…

We have Additional Web Server

Hi @sandipc

I am not sure what you are looking for here, based on the questions you have mentioned. Both the options that you have mentioned are feasible.

If your question on Azure is more to do with SolarWinds performance, in case you are moving everything onto cloud, just look through the hardware requirements and build it accordingly. SolarWinds works fine on Azure provided you build your servers and database as mentioned in the pre-requisites.

Hi @vinay.by , I appreciate your suggestion, but my concern is about stability in Azure environment?

:) I use to run a massive SolarWinds Ob self-hosted environment on Azure, but my SolarWinds db were Azure SQL PaaS databases. I do understand you are hesitant I was at first to, but we moved out of a DC and hosted everything on Azure. It worked like a charm.

Alert HTML Content
Alert Cleared.htmlHello, I would like to share the HTML template details we have prepared so that Solarwinds alarms can become more meaningful. It can list alarm object details and connected device details separately in HTML template. Except for object and device details, you can easily add custom property information…

Basic SWQL Syntax
SWQL is built on the framework of SQL and as such supports most of the standard clauses as part of a query. A very simple example query is: SELECT Caption, IPAddress, Vendor, ResponseTime FROM Orion.Nodes Dissecting this query is relatively straightforward: show some fields (Caption, IP address, Vendor, and Response Time)…
Cisco ASA SSL Tunnels
Active SSL Tunnels-ASA.UnDPThis poller *should* display the number of Active SSL VPN (Anyconnect) Tunnels currently connected to your box. However, I tried it with my 5520 running 8.0.4 and for some reason I get a OID Not Supported. Here's my post in the forum: *EDIT* This is confirmed working with at least Interm release…
