Hi there,
I'm part of a health organization that uses Orion to manage our PC endpoints. We have a number of "cart" PCs that are meant to be available in perpetuity and run a specific UI program to ensure ease of use. SolarWinds handles monitoring both of these things capably (we assign each cart PC a node and use SAM to keep tabs on the UI program process).
Currently, however, we're running a custom WMI script through Windows task scheduler to keep track of USB devices - the carts have some telecom functionality and need USB audio and video peripherals. The script runs every 5 minutes or so and fires off an email if the specified USB devices aren't discovered. This works, but we'd prefer if all aspects of our device monitoring were handled through one interface. So we were wondering if SolarWinds had either the capability to incorporate the recurring WMI query or if it had an innate function that achieved the same effect. Any clarification you could provide would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
