Since two days some hotfixes were available, but there was not warning/alarm about those hotfixes.
I enabled "Orion Server 2020.2.6 - Main Polling Engine" but that does not seem to check for updates.
It seems quite curious that your monitoring tool does not inform you about it's own updates (with critical security fixes inside)!?
Hi there,
First of all, this is the forum for SEM (Security Event Monitor) and not SAM (Server Application Monitor) which I think your question is related to.
SolarWinds does in fact give you a notification when new updates are available:
In order to do this, it must be able to communicate back to the customer portal, so if you have the internet connection blocked my recommendation would be to use the following article to whitelist specific URLs to enable this ability: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-performance-monitor-npm/f/forum/88937/orion-urls-for-firewall-whitelisting
Once that is available, you can also do all of your updates through the centralised updater, straight from the web console:
