Documentation forNetwork Performance Monitor
Monitoring network performance is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. Network Performance Monitor (NPM) is also available in a standalone module.

Add edge devices for monitoring as API-only nodes

When you start the discovery on an orchestrator Summary page and choose to import devices as API-only nodes, SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted prepares a discovery profile discover the devices monitored by the orchestrator. A simplified version of Network Sonar Wizard opens and the orchestrator is automatically selected.

  1. In Network Sonar Discovery, review the orchestrator and click Next.

  2. Complete the wizard by clicking Discover on the last tab. The wizard searches for the devices via the Orchestrator API.

  3. Discovered devices are listed in the Network Sonar Results wizard. Complete the wizard to add the devices for monitoring.

When you finish the wizard, go to the SD-WAN Orchestrator Details page (Settings > Manage Nodes > click the orchestrator node). After the next poll, the page will display data not only for the orchestrator, but also for monitored edge devices.
