SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted licensing model

SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted offers simple, node-based licensing in four editions: Essentials, Essentials Enterprise, Advanced, and Advanced Enterprise. Enterprise licenses are available beginning with 500 nodes and become required over 1000 nodes.

Licenses are tiered by the number of nodes that can be monitored and managed. Licenses are term subscriptions, billed annually. When the subscription expires, polling new data for the product stops.

  • Monitoring cloud and hypervisor VMs does not consume a license unless you assign additional monitoring, for example, WMI, SNMP, an agent, or an application template.

  • ICMP nodes are included with your license and do not count against the node total.

  • You can find your licensing key for SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted by logging into the SolarWinds Customer Portal and clicking Licenses > Manage Licenses.
