Reporting components
In Orion Platform 2020.2.6, the Report Writer tool is removed from the SolarWinds Platform. Migrate the reports to the web and use the web-based reports.
Several components work together to allow for built-in reporting, custom report creation, and report delivery.
- Report Writer

- SQL Database - Stores and delivers information for Orion
- Orion Core - Provides Web Console, report delivery, and other core functions
- Windows Event Scheduler - Provides regularly scheduled report actions
- Email - Provides a delivery mechanism for reports
