If you're managing a SolarWinds environment, the release of SAM 2026.1 brings a long-awaited change: full native support for WinRM polling across the board.
Why this matters for your 2026 roadmap:
- Security: Say goodbye to broad RPC/DCOM ports. WinRM (via HTTPS) is the modern, firewall-friendly standard for Windows monitoring.
- Observability Hybrid-Shift: 2026.1 bridges the gap between traditional SAM and "SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted," adding deep metrics for Azure ExpressRoute and AWS Direct Connect.
Stop fighting with DCOM permissions and start leveraging WinRM. Are you planning your upgrade to 2026.1 yet?
