Access Patch Manager data in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console

The SolarWinds Platform Web Console includes the My Dashboards menu, which provides a shortcut to the Patch Manager Web Console. The default menu bars include Home and a menu bar for each installed SolarWinds Platform product.

Patch Manager deployment

In a Patch Manager deployment, the Patch Manager Console Installer adds the Patch Manager Web Console to the Patch Manager server, along with an integration module and supporting SolarWinds Platform services. The integration module adds the Patches option to the My Dashboards menu. When the installation is completed and you log in to the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, the My Downloads menu includes the Patches module with a link to the Patch Manager Summary page.

Integrated SolarWinds Platform deployment

In an integrated SolarWinds Platform deployment, the Patch Manager SolarWinds Platform Web Console installer detects the current SolarWinds Platform Web Console on the SolarWinds Platform server and only installs the integration module and the supporting SolarWinds Platform services.

When the installation is completed and you log in to the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, the My Downloads drop-down menu includes the Patches module with your existing SolarWinds Platform software modules.
