Monitoring SMTP Relay Connections via SAM

maurt

I am looking for a way to monitor SMTP Relay devices via SolarWinds.  Specifically, I am trying to parse our SMTP Protocol logs in Exchange 2013 to come up with a list of the Top 10 SMTP digital senders and have that displayed in a graph or chart to be updated throughout the day.  We've already got a PowerShell script that runs to parse the logs and output the data into a SQL table.  Is there a way that we can either run this directly from within SolarWinds and store the data -OR- pull the extracted data out of SQL to then display in SolarWinds?  Basically would like something that resembles the following:

Device Name / IP	Connection Count
192.168.15.22	336
192.168.15.171	241
192.168.15.11	92
192.168.14.18	28

Any thoughts or ideas?

You can definitely implement a PowerShell script through Solarwinds  (Creating a Windows PowerShell Monitor)  and you can store the data results in Orion.   The concern I have is that in a single poll you may a different Device/name and IP with the same connection count but at a different poll interval..
