Hello,

As a start, the service graph connector may be of interest here https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/quebec-servicenow-platform/page/product/configuration-management/concept/cmdb-integration-solarwinds.html

Is this is a new or existing deployment? Do you have any questions on deployment options or are there any challenges you are facing in particluiar with the network discovery features within Orion?

Hi,

This will be an existing deployment. I am just trying to find out if the network discovery will discover all assets like utilities, network assets etc for a Energy client.

thanks,

Akansha

Discovery will only work on I.P networks. If the I.P managed device has data on other devices connected to using something like SCADA, it may be possible to see stats.

Hello. Yes, SolarWinds will only work on IP networks. Another "gotcha" is that most Oil & Gas networks are segregated for corporate and SCADA systems traffic. Your polling engine will normally need firewall rules to access the SCADA network (IP only).
