QUESTION: Does Solarwinds have a Northbound Interface?

rharris59

I am brand new to this product so bear with me.

I may answer my own question eventually, but so far no luck as I pour over the documentation.

If Solarwinds has an NBI, what is it?

BR,

SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor is an NMS. To get data about the current active alerts, see this page: Alerts · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

The API documentation is here: Home · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub and here: SolarWinds Information Service v3.0 Schema Documentation Index.

What are you looking for? I might be able to point you to the right place.

Thanks tdanner.

Specifically, I am trying to determine what interfaces/protocols Solarwinds uses to push its alarms/messages to an NMS (Network Management System).

If Solarwinds does not contain that feature, then okay, that in itself is an answer.

I might also add that Alerts can be northbounded via a number of methods. In Advanced Alert Manager, you can build trigger actions to send alerts vie page/email, etc. We use snmp trap forwarding, combined with custom trap templates that populate varbinds with alert and custom properties.

How can I change Trap Template for Send SNMP Trap in Advanced Alerts?
