Solarwinds Orion
The Solarwinds Orion is a monitoring tool used by system administrators and network engineers. This connector is intended to collect information about the components available on the network. That information is provided by the Orion modules (APM, NCM, IPAM, NPM, etc.).
This connector will export a different connector based on retrieved data (see section "Exported Connectors"). The corresponding Solarwinds Orion Node element is generated when DVE Creation is enabled in the Orion Nodes table.

Configuration
Connections
HTTP main connection
This connector uses an HTTP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: 17778
- Bus address: bypassproxy
Web Interface
The web interface is only accessible when the client machine has network access to the product.
Usage
A REST/JSON API will be used to define queries sent to the tool through HTTP POST commands.
For more information about the API, refer to the website https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki. For more information about the Orion suite, refer to http://www.solarwinds.com/.
