Attention 2025.4 customers

Before you upgrade to 2025.4, ensure that you have either removed or migrated all Internet Explorer-based transaction recordings using the Recordings Migration Tool. Otherwise, the SolarWinds Installer will not allow you to install version 2025.4.

As of 2025.4, you can no longer import deprecated recordings in the Web Console.

In addition, before you upgrade to 2025.4, ensure that you have uploaded all recordings created with the macOS web transaction recorder to your WPM/SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted instance or moved them to a location where a Windows-based recorder can access them.

The macOS Web Transaction Recorder Installer has been removed and is no longer available as of this release.

Transactions originally created in the macOS Web Transaction Recorder and uploaded to the SolarWinds Platform will continue to function normally and can be edited in the Windows-based recorder if changes are needed.

New features and improvements in SolarWinds Platform

Feature Adoption

A new section in My Deployment that shows you how to enable and expand the usage of key features of your products.

Dark theme available for all modern dashboards

Users can now switch to the dark theme without using the NOC mode. Each logged-in user can set their theme in their profile.

High Availability repair

Users can run a repair on HA pools in the web console or via CLI. This resolves HA issues fast without the need to contact support.

Modern dashboards

• A new modern dashboard widget, the Entity Drill-Down widget, has been introduced to group and drill down into different node and group entities. Users can simply select groupings with drop-down or different entity properties, without having to use custom query/SWQL to modify this widget.

• In KPI widgets, users can now synchronize font size when using multiple KPI tiles. The option is available when editing a KPI widget in the Scale Sync Configuration setting.

508 Compliance

Support for 508 compliance has been improved to ensure that the software is accessible to people with disabilities. The Login page and the main menu have been updated to better comply with this standard.

Recurring maintenance schedules

• Users can now enter a reason for one-time jobs to document why entities are put into maintenance mode.

• Users can schedule maintenance windows for volumes.

• Users have a better visibility of upcoming maintenance windows:

  • A new Maintenance Windows widget has been added to node details pages.

  • The next maintenance window is displayed in the Node Details widget.

Intelligent Maps improvements

• Users can assign a single interface to a line.

• When users move labels, connections to shapes or entities are visible.

• Users can add or remove connection pills.

• Users can align objects in a new alignment menu with complete object alignment options.

• Users can add multiple labels for shapes.

• Users can edit line width for lines and connections.

• Users can use underlined text in text boxes and labels.

• Labels appear arranged around shape or entity instead of overlapping.

Additional updates

• Data collected by SolarWinds Platform agents during polling engine failover is now retained and stored after failover completes.

01939127	When an HA failover occurs during an upgrade and the active main polling engine has been upgraded, the upgrade of the original main polling engine is no longer blocked.	Platform
01905733	Intelligent Maps on modern dashboards now support live updates.	Platform
01907591	When access points have an empty or null IP address API polling no longer fails for Arista Wireless Manager devices. Data for the devices is displays, and errors such as the following are not written to the logs: Failed parse source value: for type: String	Platform

However, recursion does not prevent updates to the container and the creation of valid relationships to other entities.	Platform
01929172	Performance of preflight tests during Centralized Upgrades has been improved for large environments with many scalability engines. If communication issues between servers prevent the tests from completing, they timeout with a message instead of hanging.	Platform

Installation or upgrade

Known issues

If you have SendTrustedIssuerList enabled, the Configuration wizard may fail

SolarWinds internal certification authorities are not stored in the system trusted certificate stores. When SendTrustedIssuerList is enabled, the system only allows client certificates signed by trusted certification authorities, causing the SolarWinds client certificate to be rejected.

The Configuration wizard may fail with the following message.

Failed to setup RabbitMQ for SolarWinds Platform

Resolution or workaround: Follow the instructions in the "Failed to setup RabbitMQ for SolarWinds Platform" when SendTrustedIssuerList registry key is enabled article.
