Documentation forSolarWinds Observability

Components supported by the Python Library

Verify the following to ensure the library can collect and transmit data:

  • The platform where your APM library will be installed is supported.

  • Your firewall configuration permits TCP/HTTPS/TLS outbound connections to apm.collector.xx-yy.cloud.solarwinds.com (where xx-yy is determined by the URL you use to access SolarWinds Observability, described in Data centers and endpoint URIs) using port 443. See Firewall or access control requirements.

    If your firewall or access control requirements do not allow such connections, configure the library to send data through a proxy.

Since the SolarWinds Observability Python Library is a custom distro based on OpenTelemetry, it supports the same versions, libraries, and frameworks as the OpenTelemetry Python instrumentation. See the list of supported package versions in the opentelemetry-python-contrib GitHub repo.
