New customer installation

Return to top

DPAIM can be installed in either of the following ways:

  • With SolarWinds SAM

    DPAIM is automatically installed with SolarWinds SAM. If you have SAM, all you have to do is set up the integration module.

    To install SAM, use the SolarWinds Platform Installer.

  • Standalone (SAM not required)

    If you do not plan to install SAM, download and run the SolarWinds Platform Installer to install DPAIM as a separate product. You can install DPAIM alone, or you can install DPAIM with other SolarWinds Platform products such as SolarWinds SRM.

After you install DPAIM, you must set up the DPA Integration Module.

How to upgrade

The SolarWinds Installer upgrades your entire deployment (all SolarWinds Platform products and any scalability engines).

You must be on DPAIM 2020.2.1 or later to upgrade to DPAIM 2023.2. If you are on DPAIM 2020.2 or earlier, first upgrade to 2020.2.6 and then upgrade to 2023.2.

Known issues

Return to top

Date range is one day behind on Wait Time resources

Issue: The date on Wait Time Trends resources is one day behind for environments where the DPA server and SolarWinds Platform server in different time zones. The affected resources are:

  • All Instances with the Highest Wait Times
  • Instances with the Highest Wait Times
  • Greatest Downward Wait Time Trends
  • Greatest Upward Wait Time Trends
Resolution/Work-around: Set the DPA and SolarWinds Platform servers to the same time zone. 
DPAIM stops working after failover
Issue: If you have High Availability configured, the DPA Integration Module stops working when a failover occurs after you re-integrate with a previously integrated DPA server.
Resolution/Work-around: Re-integrate the DPA server.
