Explination of each of the Orion services.

I already know what most of these services do, but I (and I am sure many others) would like to know exactly what each of these services are responsible for doing in Orion.

      SolarWinds Alerting Engine
      Solarwinds Information Service
      SolarWinds Orion Job Engine
      SolarWinds Orion Job Scheduler
      SolarWinds NetFlow Service
      SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
      SolarWinds Orion Information Service V1
      SolarWinds Orion Module Engine
      SolarWinds Syslog Service
      SolarWinds Trap Service

 

Thanks in advance

  • Which one do you not know and I can answer instead of answering the ones you already know :)

  • I'm pretty sure I know what these ones do:
          SolarWinds Alerting Engine
          SolarWinds NetFlow Service
          SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor
          SolarWinds Syslog Service
          SolarWinds Trap Service
    Not really sure exactly what these do:
          SolarWinds Orion Job Engine
          SolarWinds Orion Job Scheduler
          SolarWinds Orion Module Engine
    And what is the difference between these two? They look like the same executable!      
          Solarwinds Information Service
          SolarWinds Orion Information Service V1

  • And what is the difference between these two? They look like the same executable!

    Just different version, depending on the modules and versions you have installed they may need an older version

    Not really sure exactly what these do:
          SolarWinds Orion Job Engine
          SolarWinds Orion Job Scheduler
          SolarWinds Orion Module Engine

          SolarWinds Orion Job Engine handles the execution of the jobs.
          SolarWinds Orion Job Scheduler manages the scheduling of jobs and when they run
          SolarWinds Orion Module Engine is a host service for various module plugins and what we call their “business
          layers”.  Instead of having an individual windows service for each module, we have one that hosts them.
