Support Orion APE install on Linux

Would like to see the ability to install an additional polling engine (APE) on linux. This will reduce windows server maintenance and licenses. This is crucial for non Microsoft shops

I do have the same thought, My request was closed as duplicate thread. I do Agree, Installing SolarWinds Platform in LINUX Environment will save more costing instead of purchasing Windows Server OS license & MSSQL license.

Also LINUX platform, will improve the stability, scalability, Crashing issues , Performance and even costing etc. This will help more companies can afford to use SolarWinds Platform. Ideally this will increase the count of consumers/companies as many will start using it even for their small Infrastructure.

APE on linux is quite realistic FR (when you google .NET on linux)
MS support SQL on linux so why not SW get that .NET on APE
I know adatole will be first to test
