exporting realtime trend data

keoki

Greetings community!

I have a question about exporting some of the data being collected by SolarWinds.

Currently I have a number of event based data flows using alerts to push json objects into a data pipeline we have built for generic data ingest purposes.  This is working great.

I would like to push data from a specific OID we are polling for as well.  But instead of only pushing from a threshold crossing event, I want to push all data.  I can do this with an alert, but the alert will never clear and will clog up our alert dashboards, which will impact the noc team that must consume those dashboards.

The alerts already handle realtime reporting requirements, so the bulk of the trend data could be sent as individual json objects or as a periodic dump of no more than 10 minutes worth of data at a time.  What would be the best way to push this trend data into my data pipeline?

We use Solarwinds SDK and a powershell script that grabs the data out of the Orion database every so many minutes. That is how we are getting all of our data from Solarwinds into Sharepoint to create graphs there. There are several other methods, but that was an easy way.
