This topic describes how to enable monitoring for instances/VMs related to a cloud account from the Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring Settings page. You can also manage instances/VMs displayed on the Cloud Summary page; see Manage Cloud Instances/VMs.

Monitored instances/VMs do not count against SAM and integrated VMAN licenses unless they are managed as Orion nodes. See Manage a cloud instance or VM as a SolarWinds Platform node.

  1. In SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click Settings > Cloud Discovery. This opens the Manage Cloud Accounts page.
  2. Select the check box next to the account for which you are choosing instances/VMs to monitor.

  3. Click Choose Instances/VMs.

  4. Click the Monitoring toggle next to an instance/VM to toggle monitoring on or off.

    If an instance/VM is not available, an icon displays next to it. This may occur if an instance/VM is stopped or a connection issue occurred.

  5. Scroll down and click Save.
