Log in to the SolarWinds Platform Web Console to use WPM

As with all SolarWinds Platform products, you can access WPM by logging into the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

1. Launch the SolarWinds Platform Web Console using either of the following methods:
   • Start SolarWinds Platform Web Console in your SolarWinds Orion program folder.
   • Launch a browser and enter the address of your SolarWinds Platform server using one of the following options:
     • http://ip_address, example: http://10.10.10.10
     • https://ip_address, example: http://10.10.10.10
     • http://hostname, example: http://myOrion
     • https://hostname, example: http://myOrion

       If you are not using the default port (80 for http, 443 for https), specify the port after the IP address or hostname using a colon, for example http://10.10.10.10:8787, or https://myOrion:8787.

   • Enter the username and password, and then click Login.
     
     
     

     If you're an administrator logging into a new installation of WPM for the first time, you'll be prompted to add a password to the main Admin account.

     See Configure automatic login for details about login options.

2. Click My Dashboards > Transactions Summary to display existing WPM activity, and then click a transaction, transaction step, or location to drill down and see more details.
