Deprecation notice
The following platforms and features are still supported in the current release. However, they will be unsupported in a future release. Plan on upgrading deprecated platforms, and avoid using deprecated features.
Port 17778
SWIS REST Endpoint on port 17778 is deprecated as of 2023.1 and will be replaced with port 17774 in a future release. SolarWinds recommends that you start migrating SWIS REST Endpoint to port 17774.
If you are using DPAIM, make sure you are running DPA 2024.2 or later to switch to port 17774. Earlier DPA versions cannot send data to DPAIM on port 17774. See Specify the port DPA uses... for more information.
Starting with 2024.2, you can enable the port in Advanced Configuration by clearing the DisableSwisRestEndpointOnPort17778 option. See Enable/disable the SWIS endpoint port.
Network Atlas
Network Atlas is deprecated as of Orion Platform 2020.2. It is still available and supported in the current release, but will be removed in a future release. Deprecation is an indication that you should avoid expanded use of this feature and formulate a plan to discontinue using the feature. SolarWinds recommends that you start using Intelligent Maps in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console to display maps of physical and logical relationships between entities monitored by the SolarWinds Platform products you have installed.
Starting with 2024.2, you can import Network Atlas maps to Intelligent Maps. See Import maps.
