SQL Orion Database - one database ?

We are just installing Solarwinds products for the first time.

We have SAM,IPAM and Virtualization Manager as well as NPM and NTA.

My question is, we have a Solarwinds SQL Orion database set up for SAM,IPAM etc, can each product use the same SQL Orion database?

  • Yes, each product uses the same Orion database.  That is part of what makes Solarwinds, well, Solarwinds.  It is a single pane of glass for environment management, and in order to do that it is a single database.

    The only thing you need to be careful of is as you add to the environment you may need to beef up your SQL server and/or add additional polling engines, but provided you have SQL server on a VM should be easy enough to expand resources.

  • many thanks for the swift response.
