SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted and related Orion modules continue to evolve with new capabilities designed to help IT teams gain deeper visibility, investigate issues faster, and simplify operations.
Version 2026.4 adds practical improvements across AI-assisted operations, cloud monitoring, network visibility, security workflows, and the SolarWinds Platform. Highlights include:
- Build dashboard views with AI: Use natural language to create KPI and table widgets and add them to a specified dashboard.
- Review configurations with AI: AI Configuration Review analyzes network configuration changes, highlights risky or less-secure edits, and recommends remediation guidance aligned with vendor, STIG, and CVE standards.
- Move from vulnerability insight to remediation: Launch supported Windows or Linux Ansible playbooks from the Security Observability vulnerability workflow and monitor progress without leaving Observability Self-Hosted.
- Expand cloud visibility: Monitor AWS organization accounts, Google Cloud Router, Azure ExpressRoute peering, and cloud cost analysis with custom time ranges.
- Visualize traffic paths end to end: The new Sankey view in NetFlow Traffic Analyzer shows how traffic moves from source through applications, interfaces, and ASNs to its destination.
- Simplify network discovery: The redesigned Fusion experience reduces setup friction and helps teams bring more of their environment under monitoring.
- Protect SLA reporting during maintenance: SLA Mute mode keeps monitoring and data collection active while excluding planned maintenance from availability calculations.
See these capabilities demonstrated in the 2026.4 release webinar.
