In my current environment, SolarWinds is directly integrated with ServiceNow. I’m seeking guidance on how to efficiently schedule maintenance windows in bulk, especially during our monthly patching cycles. Whenever patching is planned for a large number of servers within a specific time frame, I would like to apply…

Hello all. I'm fairly new to Solarwinds so excuse my potentially simple question. I've been asked if there is a way to create a Dashboard and or Report which shows the windows patching status of servers in our environment. Do I need to apply an application monitor to all my servers first? Could someone give me some…
Hello team, I am being asked to monitor a server for which I am provided with the IP address. The service sends me something like this: http://server IP:3000/sigef2-pr-prip and the patches. Please provide me with a step-by-step guide to perform this task. I am new to handling SolarWinds and have no idea how to fulfill this…
I am sure you are working on a SaaS Patch Management solution. I also know SolarWinds will buy companies.

With the increased number of patches recently, from Microsoft, that have an exclusivity for install, think it would be a good idea to have a column to show whether a patch is exclusive in the Update Details windows of the main window, when a server is selected. This would help when there are two or more exclusive updates…
I needed a report for the boss that answered the question of how long our servers have been running since last reboot. This is to ensure we are properly rebooting servers every month after the patch cycle. We have over 1000 servers so it was a tough question to answer and a growing problem as we add more servers. I created…
I've installed Server Configuration Monitor (SCM) a few weeks ago. I have enough licenese to run it on every Windows-based server in our environment; however I'm holding off on deploying it beyond the two dozen or so servers I have it on now because I'm struggling with what is the best method to update the baselines…
