New features and improvements in SolarWinds Platform

Wireless Heat Maps added to Intelligent Maps

Visualize wireless signal coverage on a building plan.

Increased hardening and more control of password requirements

To maximize security, new password requirements for local accounts have been added, such as enforced password complexity, the number of times a user can reuse a password, or the password length. You can specify some of these requirements in the centralized settings of the SolarWinds Platform. See Hardening account password requirements.

Additional updates

  • Improved Cloud Discovery
  • Improved SolarWinds Platform Agent stability and upgrade experience
  • Asset Inventory - agentless polling for Windows Updates uses WinRM and PowerShell instead of VB scripts
  • Improved alerting stability
  • Added support for FIPS-compliant RabbitMQ/Erlang

New features and improvements in SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted Essentials

The following features are exclusive to customers with a SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted license.

Azure Cloud Dashboard

A new cloud dashboard has been added, providing you with an overview of your monitored Azure cloud accounts. The dashboard can include pie charts, drill-down widgets, and table widgets and is updated automatically without refreshing the page in your browser.

Prisma SD-WAN support

Add Prisma orchestrator nodes for monitoring and pair the Prisma orchestrator with edge nodes. For monitored nodes, you can observe:

  • Status and response time of the orchestrator node
  • Inventory managed by the orchestrator
  • Details about SD-WAN edges managed by the Prisma orchestrator, such as serial numbers, mode, type, public IP, status
  • Details on SD-WAN edge uplinks
  • Details on SD-WAN VPN tunnels

You can add Prisma SD-WAN edge devices for monitoring either using a combination of SNMP and API, or only using API. See SNMP or API-based monitoring for Prisma SD-WAN devices for details.

Vulnerability and Risk Score improvements

The redesigned Risk Score widget better visualizes the Risk score state and provides information about the severity of the score, using a color spectrum rather than a single number.

A more accurate search for vulnerabilities is available with the ability to import a CPE Match Feed. Use the CVE Data Import Settings to enable and configure CPE Match Feed imports. Another improvement to the search for vulnerabilities includes better filters to search for any field in the vulnerabilities table. For example, you can filter by CVE or node name, by operating system, or by operating system version.

Vulnerability and Risk dashboards now support VMWare ESXi and VMWare vCenter servers.

Anomaly-Based Alerts improvements

Anomaly-Based Alerts can now be created using an OR operator to alert when any conditions are met. This is in addition to the existing AND operator, allowing more flexible alert conditions.

In addition, a new Getting Started with Anomaly-Based Alerts widget introduces Anomaly-Based Alerting and provides an overview of the process for using Platform Connect to set up these alerts. It also clarifies that while these alerts require a SolarWinds Observability SaaS account, after Platform Connect has been set up an active SolarWinds Observability SaaS license is not required.

AlertStack improvements

AlertStack integrates with ServiceNow, so a single incident can be created in ServiceNow from an alert cluster.

CDR/CMR Processing Options

There are now multiple actions to choose from after processing a Cisco Call Detail Records (CDR) and Call Management Records files. Options include:

  • Do nothing

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.
