Password Policy for Orion account

Hi, We are setting up SAM module and read in documents that there is a dependency on password expiry for monitoring(i.e. monitoring will be interrupted if password of the Orion account expires). What is the best practice for password expiry in Solarwinds?

Most people I've known just set their service account to not expire. If they have an infrequent password rotation policy like once a year they just schedule it and plan on manually updating it, if they have a more frequent rotation then they usually leverage the api since most passwords in Orion can be changed there programatically. I think NCM might be the only module that still has some password tables that aren't fully configured for that kind of process.

Hmmm, has anyone used a gMSA (managed service account) for Orion services?
