Microsoft Office 365 License Statistics

stephen.clark over 3 years ago

Hi guys,

I'm a complete novice with Solarwinds, so I'm completely winging the configuration. I have our node configured for outlook.office365.com and have assigned the licensing statistics template to it. It's been running for a good month or longer now, but the statistics aren't showing up correctly. It doesn't seem to be pulling an actual statistics from our Office 365 tenant.

The account I'm using has all the requirements (i.e. global administrator).

Has anyone else managed to get this working where it displays the amount of licenses etc. for Office 365? There's around 1180 users in our Office 365.

I've attached a screenshot of what I'm getting (or not getting in this case).

I'd love to be able to configure a separate NOC for Office 365, but I need some kind of data to be able to use first.

Hope someone can shed some light on it.

Thanks

Stephen

Hi, Stephen, welcome to the community! Orion is a powerful monitoring tool that has proven to be very useful. A word of friendly caution, though: winging it may produce results that could flavor your future experience poorly. It sounds like you may be using NPM and SAM, at the very least. Here are some quick resources that will help you get started:
NPM Getting Started Guide
SAM Getting Started Guide
If you can take time to read at least some of the SAM Administrator Guide, you may find winging it a lot easier to do! (See also: NPM Administrator Guide.)
For monitoring Office 365 licenses, have you read these articles?
Using Microsoft Office 365 Templates
Microsoft Office 365 License Statistics v2 (November 2018)
Are you getting any errors during the configuration process?

I will add that there are API Poller templates that are recommended for Microsoft 365:
