"Uploading 1 files to https://api.solarwinds.com/swip/"

I recently had Support assisting with some issues, and I noticed this in one of the logs.  I am curious as to what is going on here, and why...

It seems as if our SolarWinds server/system is collecting a bunch of data and sending it to SolarWinds.  I think there is a checkbox, when installing, that asks if we want to do something similar, however, we always disable that.  Is this related to something else entirely, or did that checkbox turn itself back on somehow?

  • Hello, You can turn off from Start menu -> Solarwinds Orion -> Documentation and support -> Orion Improvement program Settings: Uncheck: Send Usage statistics To Solarwinds to help us improve our product. It shouldn't Turn ON automatically. If yes please create support ticket. Thanks Lada

  • LadaVarga‌ Thank you for the info.  The only reason it was enabled, that I can think of, is maybe it got reset/re-enabled when support was working on one of our issues.  I will keep an eye on those logs and if it comes back on, then I will open a ticket.


    Thanks, again, for your help.
