SolarWinds portal availability report

Hello,

Been trying to find away of reporting on the availability of the SolarWinds portal, have been thinking I could use SAM but can see the issues with doing it that way.

anyone doing something similar or got any ideas etc?

would be better than having to manually calculate the availability of the portal.

many thanks

SAM is not a bad choice actually. It will work until you bring the system down for maintenance. Otherwise - you are correct that an external monitor would be preferable. If you have HCO - spin a single node license instance and have it monitor your production HCO instance main poller/web portal.

I monitor my monitoring tools from 3rd party tools. Specifically something that can do synthetics or end user monitoring (like WPM, to simulate a real user accessing, logging in, and getting expected data). I know not all budgets will allow for that.

Alternatively your load balancer or application firewall might be able to report uptime (I have my additional web servers behind a load balancer that health checks the individual members in the pool).

Direct to your question I do use the SAM SolarWinds templates with some minor modifications to monitor the SW servers (links to SAM content exchange below on the ones I think I am using.

Any intel on your environment and we can provide some options
